Child Friendly Safeguarding Policy

All the adults at St Katharine’s care about you and think that your health, safety and welfare is very important.

• We promise to give you a safe place to learn in. 
• We will help keep you safe at home as well as school. 
• It is important children know where to get help if they are worried or unhappy about something.

If you need to talk - we will listen.

• You can talk to any adult at school about anything that is on your mind. 
• You can always talk to Miss Tormey, Mrs Bridel or Mrs Veneziani if there is something that is worrying you. 
• You can put something in the worry box in your classroom or on Miss Tormey’s desk
• Tell a friend and then go with your friend to tell a grown up.

• Touching you, making you feel uncomfortable
• Hitting you or hurting you
• Trying to give you cigarettes, drugs or alcohol
• Sending unkind messages on the internet or phone
