Read our Child Safeguarding Statement and Risk Assessment, Child Protection Statement and student-friendly safeguarding statement below. These documents explain how our school works to keep children safe and who pupils can turn to for help.
Our Child Safeguarding Statement sets out St. Declan’s commitment to keeping children safe and identifies the people responsible for safeguarding. The accompanying risk assessment identifies potential risks of harm during school activities and the measures in place to manage them.
Our Child Protection Statement explains how St. Declan’s works to protect pupils from harm and promote their wellbeing. It outlines the responsibilities of staff and the Board of Management, the role of the Designated Liaison Person, and the procedures for recognising, reporting and responding to concerns.
This child-friendly statement explains our commitment to keeping pupils safe in language they can understand. It encourages children to speak to a trusted adult if something is worrying them and helps families talk together about safety and asking for help.
