Looking out for each other is key at High Spen Primary. This section of our website holds key information around safeguarding.

All adults in school hold a responsibility to keep children and other adults safe from harm. We have a simple saying in school ‘Don’t go home with a niggle!’ We believe the best way to maintain a safe environment for our children is to share observations / concerns with another member of staff, no matter how small. Concerns are shared in absolute confidence and quickly passed on to one of our three Designated Teachers – Mr Firth, Mrs Nesbitt or Mrs Heron.

Each year we buy in specialist support/training from Clennell Education Solutions, who deliver elements of our staff and Governor safeguarding training. We work with the Local Authority to absorb and implement any new national guidelines.
