Safeguarding policy

---

Cromer Junior School is committed to promoting the health, safety and welfare of all pupils.

All safeguarding concerns are dealt with seriously and urgently. Sometimes the school will need to contact Children’s Services for advice and this may lead to further action.  

We follow the government’s PREVENT strategy, to safeguard against radicalisation and extremism.  

The school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Whilhelm de Neve and in his absence, Sarah Walker or Emma Harding.

The school follows safer recruitment procedures.

At Cromer Junior School we are working in partnership with Norfolk Constabulary and Norfolk Children’s Services to identify and provide appropriate support to pupils who have experienced domestic violence in their household; this scheme is called Operation Encompass. In order to achieve this, Norfolk Multi-agency Safeguarding Hub will share police information of all domestic incidents where one of our pupils has been present with the Designated Safeguarding Lead(s). On receipt of any information, the Designated Safeguarding Lead will decide on the appropriate support the child requires, this could be silent or overt. All information sharing and resulting actions will be undertaken in accordance with the ‘Norfolk Joint Agency Protocol for Domestic Abuse – Notifications to Schools’. We will record this information and store this information in accordance with the record keeping procedures outlined in our Safeguarding Policy.

Whil de Neve is a trained Domestic Abuse Awareness Champion.
