Safeguarding at Brighton Primary School

Everyone is responsible for keeping our children and young people safe. All children and young people have the right to an education, to be heard, and to be kept safe from harm. We are committed to keeping the students in our school safe from harm.

At Brighton Primary School our Safeguarding Policies, and Procedures aim to support our students, staff and community to ensure all our young people are safe.

The key supporting documents that parents and carers need to be aware of include:
