Charlotte Nursery and Infant School

Safeguarding is our main priority.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and develop in a school environment that is safe and secure; here at Charlotte Nursery and Infant School we work extrememly hard to offer an enabling environment for children, where risks are minimised and well managed, and children are protected from harm and abuse.

Our policy is reviewed regularly by the governing body and it applies to all staff, governors, students and volunteers working in our school. All adults in school read and agree to follow the following documents: Charlotte Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, Keeping Children Safe in Education, Working Together to Safeguard Children.

We have policies and procedures in place to make sure we keep children safe and we might ask you questions about your child's welfare. Please understand it is our job to do this.
