Welcome to our Safeguarding Team
At Causeway Green we understand 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.
At Causeway Green Primary School we are committed to safeguarding our children and expect all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. Adults in school take all welfare concerns seriously and encourage our children to talk to us about anything that may worry them.
What we do in school
Ensure all staff and volunteers have DBS clearance and training to identify abuse and what to do if they are concerned
Have a safeguarding team who are available to discuss and respond to concerns
Have a family support team who are happy to talk to parents and families about any worries and offer support where needed
Listen and work with parents if we are concerned about a child (sometimes we may not be able to discuss our concerns with parents and our safeguarding policy, which you can find at the bottom of this page, explains this further)
Help children learn about keeping themselves safe including lessons on anti-bullying, e-safety, healthy relationships, healthy eating, and road safety
What parents can do to help
Parents are the most important people to keep children safe. You can:
Feel confident to raise concerns about your child
Talk to the school if you need help or support
Read the school policies
Let us know if your child has a medical condition
Let us know if there is a change in circumstances that may affect your child, eg a house move, or family circumstances.
Tell us if your child is absent and why

Safeguarding Champions
We train and develop a group of children to be our Safeguarding Champions. The champions are pupils who are trained to support and promote safeguarding within our school, acting as a peer support system for other children. They are part of the Sandwell Council Initiative, led by the Prevent Team to enhance safeguarding practices through a peer-to-peer approach. Our champions can be seen on the display board in the entrance hall.
Our Safeguarding Policy can be found on our website in policies - it is updated each year following our September Full Governing Body Meeting and annual training.
