Safeguarding

The NSPCC has created a new webpage with information and advice for parents or carers who are worried that a child or young person may be struggling with their mental health or have anxiety about Coronavirus. The webpage includes information on: talking about feelings and worries; keeping in touch and balancing screen time; ways to create structure and routine; and helping to give children a sense of control.

Safeguarding is EVERYONE’S responsibility.

All members of Alexandra Infants’ School are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children. We ensure that consistent and highly effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support all members of our school community. To view our Safeguarding Policy, please go to our policy page.
