Here at Anlaby Primary, our whole-school commitment to our safeguarding responsibilities ensures clear measures are in place, to keep not just our pupils but also our parents / carers, our staff and the wider community safe from harm.
We maintain our commitment to safeguarding in a number of ways, which include:
- offering pupils a nurturing environment that fosters healthy relationships and positive mental health.
- listening to our pupils and encouraging them to share any concerns with trusted adults and actioning support or referrals, as necessary.
- working with families to access Early Help or other support from external agencies.
- following strict guidelines to ensure all staff, visitors and contractors have appropriate DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) clearance.
- having filtering and monitoring provisions in place to protect children from inappropriate online content.
- reviewing our safeguarding practices and associated policies regularly and providing on-going staff training.
- teaching our pupils how to stay safe through PSHE lessons, E-Safety lessons and the wider curriculum.
Should you have a safeguarding concern about a child in our school, please speak to our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Ms. Taylor-Wood or our Deputy DSLs Mrs. Greer or Mrs. Rudd, who are all responsibile for Child Protection. Mrs. Janine Power is our Safeguarding Governor.
Our Head Teacher and DSL are also supported by our School Business Manager, Mrs. Cherry, in safeguarding matters such as site safety, first aid / medical and staff recruitment.
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone's responsibilty. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families and carers has a role to play in safeguarding children.

OPERATION ENCOMPASS
Operation Encompass is a Police and Education early intervention, safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people exposed to domestic abuse.
Operation Encompass reports to schools (before the start of the next school day) when a child / young person has been involved in or exposed to a domestic abuse incident.
The information is given in strict confidence to DSLs to enable them to make key adults aware that support may be required for a pupil, dependent on their wishes and needs.
Operation Encompass is a Trauma Informed and Trauma Sensitive charity. We acknowledge and understand the impact of Domestic Abuse as an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) and aim to mitigate against the damage caused by exposure to Domestic Abuse and other ACEs.
