Safeguarding

Safeguarding at Stoke By Nayland C of E Primary School and Nursery

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. All those connected to our school – staff, volunteers, governors, leaders, parents, families and children – play an essential role in keeping our community safe and secure.

  • Our approach

    At Stoke By Nayland Primary School, we maintain an attitude of 'it could happen here' where safeguarding is concerned. We believe the best interests of children always come first. All children have the right to be heard and to have their wishes and feelings taken into account. Every child, regardless of age, gender, ability, culture, race, language, religion or sexual identity, has equal rights to protection.
