At Rayleigh Primary School...

'Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all practitioners should make sure their approach is child-centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child.'

(Keeping Children Safe in Education – Sept. 2023)

Safeguarding all pupils is at the heart of everything we do at Rayleigh Primary School and we operate on the basis that it could happen here. Every member of staff receives safeguarding training at the beginning of each academic year. Staff also receive additional training throughout the year from the Designated Safeguarding Leads as well as guest speakers.
