Safeguarding
Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility! At St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Selby, we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all of our children.
We provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. We will act quickly and follow our procedures to ensure children receive effective support, protection and justice.
All of our staff are comprehensively trained in Safeguarding and Child Protection procedures. All key leadership staff receive Safer recruitment training.
Our Designated Safeguarding team in school is:
