Safeguarding at Sandfield
Safeguarding
Sandfield Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We recognise that all adults, including temporary staff, volunteers and governors, have a full and active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm, and that the child or young person’s welfare is our paramount concern. The culture at Sandfield is that ‘It could happen here’ and all staff are professionally curious.

Everyone who works in or visits our school has a shared responsibility for safeguarding our pupils. To help us maintain a safe and secure environment, we ask all visitors to follow our visitor procedures. Upon arrival, you will be met at the school gate by a member of our Office Team, who will accompany you into the school.
All visitors are required to sign in using our QR code system and will be issued with an appropriate visitor lanyard. This must be worn visibly at all times while on the school premises and returned to the Office Team when you leave.
