Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils is of the upmost importance at Jeavons Wood. Everyone at school has a role to play in keeping our children safe at all times. All staff are regularly trained in child protection, in line with our Safeguarding policy. Any concerns around a child or family will be dealt with appropriately by the Safeguarding Team & shared on a need to know basis.
The Safeguarding team at Jeavons Wood Primary School are:
Please contact the safeguarding team at school to share any safeguarding concerns you may have and we can advise accordingly. However, during school holidays or if you think that a child may be at immediate risk of harm, please contact children's services by calling 0345 045 5203 (during office hours) or 01733 234 724 (out of hours) and the police, if appropriate, immediately.
In an increasingly digital world it's important that our pupils, parents and carers feel that their information is protected and safe. This is why the Trust has a robust Data Protection Policy, which can be viewed here. You can view our privacy noticies here.
With technology developing at a rapid speed our children are increasingly vulnerable as younger and younger they can access the internet in an ever growing number of ways.
To filter the use of the internet in school we use LIghtSpeed Filtering and we also teach the children how to keep safe on line, using Purple Mash. However, it is important that parents and carers know the dangers and also teach them e-safety at home.
Please use the links to navigate your way around our Online Safety information. It's always worth keeping an eye on the school newsletter as we aim to include snippets of support related to Online Safety, as they come up. As always, please do speak to a member of staff if you need advice or you are worried about something.
For a child or young person, having a sexual image or video of themselves shared online can be a distressing situation. This can be difficult for parents and carers too, but there are ways you can support your child. If they’re under 18, they can use Report Remove.
We have more advice to help you understand the risks, and how to support your child if they’ve been sending, sharing or receiving nude images.
Report Remove is a tool that allows young people to report an image or video shared online, to see if it’s possible to get it taken down. Provided by Childline and IWF, it keeps the young person informed at each stage of their report, and provides further support where necessary.
To use Report Remove, children just need to follow three steps:
Childline will let the young person know the outcome of their report and provide further support where needed. And they’re always welcome to speak to a counsellor about how they feel, whether online via 1-2-1 chat and Childline email, or via the free confidential helpline on 0800 1111. There are lots of ways to speak to a Childline counsellor.
