Commitment to safeguarding
Monkshouse Primary Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We listen to our pupils and take seriously what they tell us. All school staff are trained in Child Protection, and children are made aware of the adults they can talk to if they have any concerns. Staff are trained to look out for signs of harm or neglect and are required to report these to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).
