Safeguarding

At Holy Trinity Primary School safeguarding of children and young people is of high importance. We expect all staff, volunteers and members of the wider school community to share this commitment.

Working closely with children and families means we are in a position to identify concerns early and provide help for children to prevent concerns from escalating. We work very closely with social care, the police, health services and other agencies to promote the welfare of children and young people and protect them from harm.

For full details of our safeguarding arrangements please refer to the Safeguarding Policy below.
