Safeguarding
At Manley Park Primary School, the physical and emotional health and well-being of our children is very important to us. We work tirelessly to ensure that all aspects of school life are safe for children, staff, parents, carers and all our visitors.
We work closely with other professionals to support our children and their families. If you have any concerns regarding the safety or well-being of a child or you feel that you could benefit from additional support regarding your family situation, please contact one of our safeguarding team at school.

Key Therapist
Some examples are:
We keep the gates locked and check the building to make sure everyone is safe.
· We wear the appropriate lanyard in school, so everyone knows who the staff are and who visitors are around school.
· There is a worry box for us to share our feelings and concerns.
· We have trusted adults to help us.
· We learn to stay safe online as well as offline.
· We use resources from NSPCC such as the PANTS rule to help us keep ourselves and others safe.
Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy
This policy is updated annually to reflect new guidance and legislation. The school is a safe environment in which children thrive and develop. We follow the Local Authority School Safeguarding arrangements which encompass the Department for Education's 'Keeping Children Safe in Education,’ updated annually.
This year, Miss Avari and the team will be carrying out a series of workshops for families.
This will be an opportunity to discuss different aspects of safety and work together to talk about shared experiences. The first session in Autumn one looked at online safety and in Autumn two, we focused on zones of regulation with Miss McCauley. In February, we have the Healthy Schools team coming to do a session with Miss Avari for families around healthy lifestyles.
These will take place in the School House on the College Road site.
