Safeguarding

At St Dominic’s School, safeguarding is our highest priority and is central to everything we do. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where all pupils and students feel valued and protected.  Our safeguarding policies and procedures are rigorously implemented and regularly reviewed, and all staff receive appropriate training to ensure they understand and fulfil their safeguarding responsibilities.  We work closely with families and external agencies to ensure the welfare and wellbeing of our pupils and students at all times.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility at St Dominic’s, and we take this responsibility extremely seriously.

Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy and Procedure

Suicide Prevention Strategy

The safety of our pupils and students is our number one priority.  As we all know, the risks in modern society are varied and constantly changing and we cannot remove these, so we all need to help educate children in ways to keep themselves safe.

As part of safeguarding the pupils and students of St Dominic’s School we will ensure that no political view is promoted. If political views are discussed as part of the school curriculum we will ensure this is a balanced discussion.

Safeguarding Team:

If anyone is worried that a pupil or student is being abused, or there are safeguarding issues, the senior designated member of staff should be contacted. Alternatively you can contact the LADO (Local Authority Designated Officer) at Surrey Council on 0300 200 1006.

Operation Encompass

St Dominic’s School has taken the opportunity to join the Operation Encompass scheme which will run jointly between local schools, Surrey Police and Surrey County Council. Operation Encompass has been designed to provide early reporting on any domestic incidents that occur outside of school and might have an impact on a child in school.
