Safeguarding
Coppull Parish Church of England Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy, which can be viewed under the policies section (under the 'Key Information' tab above).
If there are concerns about a child's welfare, we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mr Cooper (Headteacher)
Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Davison (Deputy Headteacher)
The Governor with responsibility for safeguarding in our school is Jade Hackett.
Information for Visitors
At Coppull Parish Church School, we use a clear and consistent lanyard system to help everyone quickly identify who is on site and ensure the safety of our pupils. Each group of adults in school is easily recognisable, supporting staff and children to know who they can approach and helping us maintain a secure environment. This simple system is part of our wider commitment to safeguarding, ensuring our school remains a safe, welcoming place for everyone.
Children’s Voices in ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’ (DfE)
The Department for Education has published a child-friendly version of Working Together to Safeguard Children, including a downloadable booklet and animation to help young people understand safeguarding processes.
The guide, titled A Guide to Safeguarding for Children and Young People, explains how professionals like social workers, teachers, doctors, and police collaborate to keep children safe. It encourages children to speak up and reassures them that help is available.
This guide responds to calls for greater inclusion of children’s voices in safeguarding. Access these child-friendly resources here:
