Safeguarding

The Chellington Federation take the responsibility to safeguard children very seriously. We are committed to ensuring that all our children and young people feel safe; that children, parents/carers and staff are able to talk about safeguarding concerns and feel assured that they will be listened to; and that all staff are aware of, and implement safeguarding procedures and guidance including what to do if they suspect a child or young person may be experiencing, or be at risk of harm. The welfare of our pupils is paramount.

E-Safety

We live in a time when the internet, social media and apps are commonplace and used by many people. We need to ensure that our children are able to access age appropriate experiences but in a way which safeguards them from harm or being exposed to inappropriate or unacceptable things.

Children need to be taught how to access websites, chat based games etc, and use them responsibly. Children also need to be able to identify when something happens which is concerning and be confident to share their worries with an adult.

The Chellington Federation use materials from a variety of internet sites to support the work we do with the children. These sites have information for children, parents, staff and families which is very useful to share with your children to support their safe use of the Internet.
