Safeguarding
At Staghills Nursery School, the safeguarding of our children is the highest priority. Please view our school policies and guidance for parents/guardians in relation to safeguarding issues on pages below.
Training
In order to keep our children safe at school, we: ensure that all our staff – through their induction and on going training – have a clear understanding of their responsibilities towards our children’s safeguarding
The DSL and DDSL have comprehensive training including:
- Safeguarding in Education
- Prevent
- E-Safety
- Data Protection
- Safer Recruitment
- FGM (Abuse linked to Faith or Belief)
- Single Central Record
- Child on Child Abuse
We ensure that we teach our pupils how to keep themselves healthy and safe – in and out of school
Staying Safe
We believe every child has the right to feel safe and loved. At Staghills Nursery we do are upmost to ensure children are safe.
As part of a rolling program we support the children to recognise staying safe in a developmentally appropriate way.

We look at -
NSPCC PANTS campaign

On-line safety
Through the curriculum we provide children with many experiences where we will support them to 'make choices' & 'risk assess'. Examples of these opportunities - Forest School, the Tool area, Cooking activities etc.
