Lulworth and Winfrith CE Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, children and staff at school. All concerns are passed through the members of staff who are trained as "Designated Child Protection Officers" in school in compliance with the "sharing of information" guidance.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Griffiths, Headteacher. She is supported by Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads: Miss Hardy (Deputy Head), Miss Stopforth and Mrs Collins (Lulworth Site) and Mrs McHarg (Winfrith Site). All members of staff are also trained tin responding to safeguarding concerns.
The Prevent Duty guidance (under the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015) places a duty on schools to have "due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism." All staff have received training in this area and this is monitored and updated regularly by the school Governors as part of our safeguarding auditing process.
