Safeguarding

 

What to do if you have a concern about one of our pupils?

During School Hours:

  • Contact the school and speak to Mrs Hart, Miss Clark (DDSL HB) , Mrs Gomm (DDSL S) or Mrs. Morgan-Muir (Governor).

  • Contact the East Riding Safeguarding & Partnership Hub on 01482 395500

Out of school hours and during school holidays:

  • If your concern is urgent and there is an immediate risk of harm, then contact the police via 999

  • If your concern is less urgent but you are worried about the welfare of the child then contact the Safeguarding and Partnership Hub on 01482 395500 (Mondays-Thursdays 9am-5pm, Fridays 9am-4:30pm). Outside of office hours the Emergency Duty Team can be contacted on 01482 393939

  • If you have concerns about a child at HBSFED, which you believe the school need to be aware of, then email Victoria Hart: Hornseaburton.primary@eastriding.gov.uk or skipsea@eastriding.gov.uk

Safeguarding is everyone’s business.

 

  • The East Riding Safeguarding Children Partnership (ERSCP) is a statutory multi-agency organisation which has been set up as part of the every child matters reforms. It brings together agencies who work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in the East Riding and requires that all organisations cooperate to keep children safe from harm.

    The partnership aims to ensure that information, education, and training is available for professionals, parents, and carers, members of local communities, and children and young people themselves all to achieve this aim.

    The ERSCP website provides further information about safeguarding for parents, carers, professionals, volunteers, children, and young people:

We are an ‘Operation Encompass School’

Operation Encompass is an innovative project that is being run in partnership with Humberside Police and is aimed to support children who are affected by Domestic Abuse.
Following any domestic abuse incident being reported into Humberside Police, the school will be informed of a child’s involvement.  This knowledge within school allows a trained Key Adult to offer the provision of immediate early intervention through overt or silent support, dependant on the needs and wishes of the child.

Prevent

HM Government has published guidance for authorities, including schools, on their responsibilities under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act, which came into effect on 1 July 2015.  Under the Act, schools and other authorities have a duty to “have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”.

Prevent is a government strategy designed to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorist or extremist causes.  The Prevent strategy covers all types of terrorism and extremism, including the extreme right wing, violent groups and other causes.

  • From July 2015 all schools (as well as other organisations) have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism. This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from other dangers. Importantly, we can provide a safe place for pupils to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.

  • Many of the things we already do in school to help children become positive, happy members of society also contribute to the Prevent strategy.

    These include:

    • Exploring other cultures and religions and promoting diversity.

    • Challenging prejudices and racist comments.

    • Developing critical thinking skills and a strong, positive self-identity.

    • Promoting the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils, as well as British values such as democracy.

    • We will also protect children from the risk of radicalisation, for example by using filters on the internet to make sure they can’t access extremist and terrorist material, or by vetting visitors who come into school to work with pupils. Different schools will carry out the Prevent duty in different ways, depending on the age of the children and the needs of the community.

  • • Extremism – vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values such as democracy, the rule of law and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.

    • Ideology – a set of beliefs.

    • Terrorism – a violent action against people or property, designed to create fear and advance a political, religious or ideological cause.

    • Radicalisation – the process by which a person comes to support extremism and terrorism.
