Safeguarding

At Greenfield we passionately believe the children deserve the very best education, nurture and care. We have the highest expectations and believe every child is important. We believe it is our job in partnership with parents and carers to ensure that our pupils aspire to be the best they can be.

Greenfield Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our children and young people.  We have posters in every classroom, reminding pupils who they can talk to if they are sad or worried, and we also have worry boxes in classrooms.

Types of Harm

Harm is identified in four ways:

Physical: When a child is deliberately hurt or injured.

Sexual: When a child is influenced or forced to take part in a sexual activity. This can also be an activity such as being made to look at inappropriate images.

Emotional: When a child is made to feel frightened, worthless or unloved. It can be by shouting, using threats or making fun of someone. It can also be when children see their parents, or visitors to the home fighting or using violence.

Neglect: When a child is not being taken care of by their parents/guardians. It can be poor hygiene, poor diet, not keeping appointments for additional support, not coming to school and being left home alone.
