At East Ayton Primary School, we work closely with families and other agencies to ensure the safeguarding of all children.

We aim to:

• ● Take appropriate action in a timely manner to safeguard and promote children’s welfare
• ● Ensure all staff are aware of their statutory responsibilities with respect to safeguarding
• ● Ensure all staff are properly trained in recognising and reporting safeguarding issues

If you have any child protection or safeguarding concerns, our safeguarding team can help.

Underpinning our work is a collection of safeguarding policies and procedures. These policies form part of our statutory duties to safeguard all children. They have been updated to reflect the latest national guidance for safeguarding, as detailed in "Keeping Children Safe in Education" (2024) (please link attached document).
