Safeguarding

Ty'n y Wern Primary School's   Safeguarding Policy aims to provide clear direction to staff and others about expected codes of behaviour in dealing with child welfare concerns. The policy also aims to make explicit the school’s commitment to the development of good practice and sound procedures to keep children safe in our school. 

This policy recognises that abuse can occur in all communities and contexts and that all staff have a responsibility and the opportunity to support children, in sharing concerns and worries in school to feel safe. The whole school culture of vigilance of Ty'n y Wern creates a safe space where children are supported, listened to and valued in what they choose to share and that ALL staff act immediately with the necessary level of intervention to create the most effective outcome for every individual child.

If you are unsure that a child may be suffering but are worried, or if you are concerned that a child has suffered harm, neglect or abuse, you can contact Caerphilly Councils Contact and Referral Team on 0808 100 1727 (during office hours) or complete the online referral on their website https://www.caerphilly.gov.uk/contact-us/general-enquiries/children-s-services.aspx.  If you feel that your referral cannot wait until the next day you can contact the council's Emergency team on 0800 3284432. If you believe that a child is at immediate risk please ring 999.
