Safeguarding

Long Sutton C of E Primary School and Toy Box Pre-school are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff, volunteers, visitors and outside agencies to share this commitment and to follow the school policy and procedures. Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy 2023-24

All visitors to the school will be required to show some ID to reception staff if you are not known to them as part of our safeguarding policy. Please have this ready when you arrive. We will also need details of your DBS clearance if you are a regular visitor to the school. Visitors and contractors will be given a badge that they should wear and display at all times when on the school premises.

doing nothing is not an option in our school.
