Child Protection at The Rawcliffe Schools
We want children to enjoy their time at our schools. We want to equip them with skills, knowledge and understanding to provide the foundations they need as they progress through life, through providing a secure, stimulating and happy environment in which they can develop and learn in a way appropriate to their experience and understanding. In an environment in which they are encouraged to talk, are listened to, and their viewpoints valued.
The welfare of our children is of paramount importance. Health Education and Personal & Social Development in school, along with promoting good behaviour, British Values and an understanding of E- Safety, addresses personal safety, with the aim of empowering children to make confident decisions in their own best interests. Staff are available to listen to children’s worries and fears and support children in making positive choices.
Rawcliffe Bridge Primary School and Rawcliffe Primary School fully recognise their responsibilities for child protection. Everyone working within the schools understands their legal duty to work with other agencies in protecting children from harm and responding to abuse. Staff and Governors are fully up-to-date with the latest safeguarding guidance, including"Keeping Children Safe in Education", 2018.
The schools Child Protection Lead Teacher are Mrs McNeill (Executive Head Teacher) and Miss R. Knight (Executive Deputy Headteacher)
The Schools Deputy Child Protection Lead Teacher are Mrs S Dean (Key Stage 1 Leader) and Mrs C. Cully (Key Stage 2 Leader)
The School Governor for Safeguarding - Child Protection is Mr Mark Panting.

Prevent Strategy
What is Prevent?
Prevent is part of CONTEST, the Government’s strategy to address terrorism. The main aim of Prevent is to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent focuses on all forms of terrorist threats. e.g. international terrorism, far right extremists (among others).
The Government’s Prevent strategy can be found at the following address: www.homeoffice.gov.uk
Three key themes
The police, Local Authorities, and our partner organisations are working together to help strengthen and empower our communities to reject those who want to cause harm. We work together and focus on three key themes:
Safeguarding vulnerable individuals through the provision of advice and support and intervention projects.
Working closely with institutions such as Universities, Schools, Prisons, Health, Charities and faith establishments.
Challenging terrorist ideology by working closely with other local and national agencies, partners and our communities
Prevent Team
The Prevent Engagement Team of officers and police staff aim to encourage discussion ensuring that terrorism is prevented from taking root in our communities. They support the wider engagement activities already taking place in schools, places of worship and community groups.
Through this work they aim to strengthen communities in order to challenge the ideologies and messages of hate which lead to terrorism.
