Safeguarding

 

Safeguarding at Burleyfields Primary School

At Burleyfields Primary School, safeguarding is central to our ethos and practice. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child is protected, valued, and empowered to thrive. Our safeguarding procedures are rigorous and consistently applied, ensuring that all staff, visitors, and members of our school community understand their responsibilities in keeping children safe.

We are proud to be an Operation Encompass school. This means we work in partnership with Staffordshire Police to ensure that we are promptly informed of any incidents of domestic abuse involving our pupils. This enables us to offer immediate and appropriate support to children and families who may be affected, helping to safeguard their wellbeing and ensure continuity of care within school.

If you have any concerns about a child during your visit to Burleyfields, please report them immediately to Mrs Rebecca Bell, our Designated Safeguarding Lead, or Mrs Kate Thorley, our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead. Your vigilance and support are vital in helping us maintain a secure and nurturing environment for all.
