Safeguarding Council

Beechwood Primary School's Safeguarding Council consists of a range of pupils from year 3 up to year 6. 

Safeguarding  is very important to us at Beechwood and our team meet every half term, to discuss any issues and concerns that they may have.  We do enviromental walks of the school grounds, to ensure that as a school we are keeping all pupils safe inside and outside school. 

Our role is to:

• listen to the ideas, opinions and suggestions of our class friends.

• help children to follow our school rules, making sure everyone stays safe.

• share our views with Staff, Governors and Parents and other agencies.

• make sure visitors are safe in our school and wear the right coloured lanyard.

• be involved in safety days, for example road safety and internet safety days at school

Across the school year as a team we also run activities to encourage all pupils to feel part of keeping everyone safe.

Whisper Wednesday - On a Wednesday lunchtime -  the safeguarding council are available for any pupil with issues or concerns  to speak too.  These pupils also check the 'Worry Monster' tubes during the week to see if pupils need any support with any concerns raised. If necessary these concerns or worries will be shared with the school counsellor who may be able to offer extra support. 

For any safeguarding updates we have a display board based in the school hall for all pupils, staff and visitors to read. We update this regularly. 

Miss Hart supports the Safeguarding Council in school.
