Safeguarding at V.A.S.E

V.A.S.E Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and excepts all staff and volunteers to share the same commitment. We have a number of policies and procedures which contributes to our safeguarding commitment. Including our child protection and safeguarding policy which can be found in the policies section.

Sometimes we may need to share information with other agencies, when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure to discuss all concerns with parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare.

We actively support the government’s agenda to counter radicalisation and extremism.

Our designated safeguarding lead is Miss Martin (Deputy Head) our deputy designated safeguard lead is Mr Majid (Head Teacher).

Whilst lots of parents and carers really enjoy seeing photos and videos of their children’s school life, we are very mindful of our duty of care towards all our pupils. We take the issue of safeguarding very seriously and this includes the use of photographic and video images.

Any photographs or videos taken by parents, carers and relatives at school productions, sports days or other events are for the enjoyment of individual families. They must not be used in any way that could potentially place a child at risk. This would include publishing images in any form of print or on the internet including social networking sites. This is emphasised before concerts and shows etc and where practical a record of parents and relatives taking photographs or videos is made.

Occasionally, the local press will be invited to take photographs of school events and special achievements. We like to use photographs of our children on our website, in school documents, for parent information meetings, newsletters and on our display screens around the school. If you do not wish photographs of your child to be used for these purposes, then please contact the Head Teacher.
