At Burhill Primary School, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and expect every member of our school community to share this commitment. 

In line with our inclusive ethos, we believe that every child has the right to feel safe, valued, respected and supported to thrive. We take a child-centred approach to safeguarding and always act in the best interests of the child. The safety, wellbeing and welfare of our pupils are our highest priority. 

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. All staff, including supply staff, volunteers, governors and trustees, receive regular safeguarding training and are required to understand and follow the school's safeguarding and child protection procedures. Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy is available to parents and carers on our website or from the school office. 

To ensure that children receive the right help at the right time, there may be occasions when we need to record, monitor and share information with other agencies. We work in partnership with families wherever possible and will normally discuss concerns with parents and carers. However, where there is reason to believe that doing so may place a child at risk of harm, we will follow safeguarding procedures and seek advice from relevant agencies to ensure the child's safety and wellbeing. 

Anyone who has concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child should report them immediately to one of the school's Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), either directly, by emailing dsl@burhill.surrey.sch.uk, or by contacting the school office on 01932 225836 and asking to speak to a DSL. 

If concerns relate to the conduct, behaviour or actions of a member of staff, these should be reported immediately to a Designated Safeguarding Lead. If the concern relates to the Headteacher or any member of the safeguarding team, it should be reported to the Safeguarding Governor or Chair of Governors.
