Safeguarding

At St George's Primary School, we are fully committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our children.  It is their right to be safe in school and our duty to ensure this. 

Safeguarding is managed in a number of ways.  This includes ensuring good behaviour, safety on the school site, anti-bullying, e-safety, pupil voice and child protection policies.

As part of safeguarding work, we work in partnership with colleagues from other agencies.  This includes colleagues from school nursing, social care, community police, children's centres, therapists, paediatricians and other agencies.

Safeguarding concerns can also be reported directly to the Integrated Front Door (IFD) at Wirral Social Care. Their telephone number is: 0151 606 2008.  

Visit their website at: https://www.wirralsafeguarding.co.uk/concerned-about-a-child/

 

We have a safeguarding team at St George's who help to co-ordinate all our work.  We meet regularly to ensure that our policy and practice is as good as we want it to be.  Please contact us if you need any support or advice.   

Safeguarding Team at St George’s.

Every member of staff has a key role.  We have a core safeguarding team who all have advanced training. 

Schools have been required to have a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) since the Children Act 2004.  The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) role was first outlined in the 2018 KCSIE.  DDSL’s support the work of DSL and have designated roles.

You can contact our safeguarding team by emailing safeguarding@stgeorges.wirral.sch.uk.

 

We also have two nominated safeguarding governors, Mr Brian Clark and Mr Tom Freeman.  They can be contacted through our clerk to governors.  The e-mail address is clerktogovernors@stgeorges.wirral.sch.uk.

As well as policies below, we also refer all parents, staff and other stakeholders to:

 Information Sharing and Safeguarding

In October 2026, a new information sharing duty under the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 came into law.

For schools it is now a statutory duty for professionals to share their information to support a child with the relevant bodies. Statutory guidance published by the DfE details this responsibility.

School will work with local Authority to follow the ICO 10 step guide for information sharing.  If staff are unsure they will consult this guidance.  10 Steps are:
