Safeguarding
Our priority is to ensure our pupils are kept safe and know how to keep themselves away from harm.
We have a Designated Safeguarding Lead: Mrs Jackson (Head Teacher).
We also have two Deputy DSLs: Mr Matthews (Deputy Head Teacher) and Miss Brimson (SENDCO).
Our Governors with responsibility for Safeguarding are: Mr Adam Pearless (Foundation PCC Govenor) and Fr Daniel Burton (Foundation PCC Governor) both contactable through our main school office office@allsaintscarshalton.sutton.sch.uk.
We use guidance from the NSPCC and CEOP to help children understand how to keep safe.
This includes watching videos about how to stay safe when playing online, as well as teaching children about the PANTS rule:
P - Privates are private
A - Always remember your body belongs to you
N - No means no
T - Talk about secrets that upset you
S - Speak up, someone can help
The guide below is to support parents when having those tricky conversations with their children about their body, keeping safe and what to do if they are made to feel worried or uncomfortable.

Communication is vital; the acknowledgement of loss, honesty of the unknown, recognition of anxieties, a focus on the positive and emphasising that change is a part of life can help support good mental health:

To support our school’s vision and ethos; the school identity is rich and secure.

Reflective moments built into a curriculum will teach emotional literacy and help everyone think about their feelings and acknowledge their anxiety. It’s best to have a few strategies to release a feeling of empowerment rather than a huge number that can then feel overwhelming.
