SAFEGUARDING

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.

When we talk and listen to a child we help them to have a voice.

Having a voice that is heard is the most powerful safeguarding tool a child can have.

If you have any concerns about keeping children safe or any questions about our safeguarding policy and procedures, come and see a member of our safeguarding team.

Having freedom to make choices also means the child has the freedom to say ‘No!’ or ‘Stop! I don’t like it!’

At Pound Park Nursery School we want all of our children to be confident enough to make choices.

Online Safety - Be Aware

We tell children to share but online it's different.  In fact, sometimes sharing online can be dangerous.  that's why we're asking parents to be Share Aware and keep children safe online.

Below we have offered two links to websites created by the NSPCC with advice on helping your child to stay safe on social networks, apps and games.

Website Links:

73% of four year olds use computers with 41% doing so every day - 25% have their own tablet - with this in mind we really need to be vigilant regarding what our children are viewing.  Here are a few websites which offer helpful advice regarding online safety for you as well as your children.
