Child Protection and Safeguarding is our highest priority at Holy Rosary. We will take all reasonable action in order to ensure the safety of our pupils.  Our Safeguarding Policy is available under the policies section of our website.

National Lockdown

During the national lockdown, we will ensure that we remain in contact with our pupils and their families on a daily basis. We want your child to attend every teaching session to support their mental health and wellbeing by seeing their friends daily and so that they do not have gaps in their learning. If we don't see your child at live sessions, your child's class teacher will make contact via Class Dojo to offer support. If this happens twice, they will give you a call and talk through any problems you might be facing and to offer advice and guidance. If this happens three times, they will put in a 'My Concern' referral and this will be picked up by the DSL and/or DDSL. Support for your child and/or your family may then be discussed at our weekly Priority Pupil meeting.

Where we have evidence to suggest that a child may be subject to ill-treatment, neglect or other forms of abuse we will follow our Area Safeguarding Procedures and inform the Social Services of our concerns.
 

If you have any concerns about child protection, please contact the school office for procedures, policies or issues within our school.
