At Warkworth CofE Primary School, we believe that every child has a fundamental right to feel safe and protected from harm. We recognise that pupils can only thrive academically and personally when they feel secure, and we are committed to creating a safe, respectful and welcoming environment where all children are valued.

Our moral and statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of our pupils guides everything we do. We remain vigilant to the signs of neglect or abuse and follow robust, well-established procedures to ensure that every child receives prompt and effective support, protection and justice. These safeguarding measures apply to all staff and governors, in full alignment with Northumberland County Council guidelines.

We maintain a proactive mindset, operating with the awareness that safeguarding issues can arise anywhere, at any time. This vigilant approach ensures that we always prioritise the welfare of the child in every decision we make.
