Safeguarding

Keeping children safe is our highest priority and a responsibility we take very seriously.  Everyone who works at Fox Hill Primary School is responsible for the safeguarding of the children. 

It is our legal duty to act on any concerns.

 

Reporting Safeguarding concerns to school

  • The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) (the person who deals with any referrals or concerns about Safeguarding of children in school) is Miss K. Lane - Headteacher
  • The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) is Miss F. Ellison - Deputy Headteacher
  • Mrs R. Burbridge - Assistant Headteacher is a member of the schools' Safeguarding Team. 
  • Mrs K Evans is the lead governor for safeguarding - please see photo and information below. 

 

Kathryn Evans – Safeguarding Governor

I am the Safeguarding Governor, Chair of the Headteacher's Performance Management Panel and sit on the Resources committee. Governors are volunteers, I volunteer because I care about education and the pupils of our community and want to be a part of that environment. I first became a governor back in 2009 at another Bracknell Forest School where my two children attended.  We had recently adopted our children and I wanted to be able to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds at a strategic level through the knowledge skills and experience I gained as an adoptive parent to ensure all children, irrespective of their starting points, could thrive in a stimulating and nurturing environment. I continued my governance journey by taking on a second governor role at Fox Hill Primary School in 2017.  I now devote my time to Fox Hill only, alongside working full time in an educational environment as an HR Manager in Surrey.

 

Anyone in the Safeguarding Team will be happy to discuss any questions or concerns parents/carers may have about Child Protection issues or any safeguarding concerns you might have.

 

If you wish to speak to us regarding a safeguarding concern, please contact us via the school office, by email or by speaking to us when we at the gates before and after school.

Health and Safety

We are committed to making sure our school is a healthy and safe environment for all of our children and their varied needs. If you have any concerns, please raise them to Mrs P. Fox (School Business Manager) via the school office or by email. 

Prevent Duty

The Prevent Duty aims to prevent young people from being radicalised by, for example, far right extremists or religious extremists.

 

In school we have a duty to care for the children and take note of any child who is at risk of radicalisation, regardless of their background. We also have to take steps to help prevent children being exposed to extremist ideas.  Our overriding concern is that children feel safe and also express respect and tolerance towards all cultures and religions.  

 

Please see below our Prevent Duty risk assessment.

Medication 

We are committed to supporting all of our children and their varied needs.   If your child should require a course of medication and you would like it to be administered in school please complete a request form available from the school office.

The safety of our pupils at Fox Hill is paramount and we endeavour to take every step we can to ensure our recruitment procedures matches this.
