SAFEGUARDING

CPOMS
We use a safeguarding system called CPOMS.
Most schools operate a manual (in many cases hand written and paper based) system for the reporting of incidents, including potential Child Protection issues. CPOMS has enabled us to improve our management of child protection and similar incidents and actions, whilst reducing paperwork and administration.
Operation Encompass
St Alban's Catholic Primary School participates in Operation Encompass which is a partnership between South Yorkshire Police and Education, supported by Doncaster Safeguarding Children's Board.
Prevent
Prevent is part of the Government’s strategy to address terrorism. The main aim of Prevent is to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent focusses on all forms of terrorist threats. The Goverment’s Prevent strategy can be found at the following address:
Fundamental British values
All maintained schools must meet the requirements set out in section 78 of the Education Act 2002 and promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of their pupils.
Schools should promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
St Alban’s Catholic Primary School ensures the Spiritual Moral Social and Cultural development of pupils through the curriculum and assemblies, and providing relevant activities beyond the classroom.
We also actively promote fundamental British values, meeting requirements for collective worship and have established a strong school ethos supported by effective relationships throughout the school.
Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance.
St Alban’s actively promotes the values by challenging opinions or behaviours in school that are contrary to fundamental British values.
The Governments advice on Promoting fundamental British values as part of SMSC in schools can be found at the following link:
