Newdale’s Safeguarding priority is to ensure that our school community is a place where everyone feels they belong and that they feel safe.

We all have a responsibility to keep our children safe: in school and at home. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play. It is important that we all know what to look out for, know why children can be vulnerable and how they can be manipulated into harmful situations and exploited.

We know that reading information about safeguarding can sometimes be an uncomfortable read, but it is vital that we all know of the ways we can keep our children safe and how to act should there be any concerns. This short guide shares some information about contextualised safeguarding (within our community), signs to look out for and pathways for support and reporting.

Contextual safeguarding recognises that the different relationships that young people form in their neighbourhoods, schools and online can unfortunately feature violence and abuse. It is our responsibility to ensure that we are protecting children within our community from harm.

Within this guide, we have included useful links for parents and carers to help offer extra information as well as routes for support if needed.

Many thanks

We are looking forward to welcoming Grandparents tomorrow for our tea party in aid of Macmillan. We are excited to announce our grand total next week following on from our walking events and tea party.

Please see below a few reminders for the event:

• Grandparents to bring their tickets along to the event. Tickets give entry to the tea party and one hot drink
• All cakes/treats are £1 each, please bring cash only, we are unable to provide change
• Mobile phones are not to be used on site at anytime
• We may have Shropshire Radio joining us who may ask to interview some grandparents during the event.
• Grandparents who are taking children home early will need to inform the class teacher and sign children out at the main office

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
