Safeguarding Children in school is the responsibility of all staff who work within the school. We ensure all staff are aware of their responsibilities.

In order to ensure that best practice is maintained, our policies are reviewed regularly to incorporate the latest statutory guidance emerge. If you would like more information on safeguarding, please contact the school for all our policies or view our policies section on our website.

Safeguarding at St Patrick’s

St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, Dipton, is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

If you are concerned that a child is being harmed or neglected call: 03000 26 7979. If the child or young person is at immediate risk of harm call 999.

We expect all staff, volunteers and visitors, involved in any aspect of school life, to share this commitment.  We believe our pupils have the right to be happy, to be safe and to learn.   At St. Patrick’s, we believe safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
