At Jessie Younghusband Primary School, the safety and wellbeing of every child is our highest priority.
We are committed to providing a safe, secure and nurturing environment where children can learn, develop and thrive. We promote a culture of vigilance and encourage children, staff, parents and visitors to speak to us if they have any concerns about a child's welfare or safety.
All staff receive regular safeguarding training and understand their responsibilities to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. We work closely with families and external agencies to ensure that children receive the support they need.
