Safeguarding & Child Protection
Safeguarding Statement
At Cayley Primary School, we are committed to promoting the safety and welfare of all our pupils, staff and visitors.
As part of this commitment, we have a legal responsibility to inform Social Care of any child protection concerns relating to children who attend our school.
In the majority of cases a member of staff will contact you to discuss this and if necessary any subsequent referral to Social Care. Please be aware you may not be contacted in advance of a referral if it is felt this could place a child at risk of ‘significant harm’.
We appreciate your support in this matter.
Cayley Primary School follows the procedures outlined by the Tower Hamlets Safeguarding Children Board (THSCB) - a guide to procedure and practice for all professional staff in Tower Hamlets who work with children.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
Staff are trained to recognise signs of concern. It is our statutory duty to report any sign that may lead us to suspect a child protection matter. In making any referral, the school is not making any judgement, for example about individual parents or carers. It is for social services to decide whether there should be an investigation.
