IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL VISITORS
Safeguarding
The welfare of our children at Grace Darling Primary School is our paramount concern. We want all of our children to be safe and to feel safe.
Upon arrival, all visitors must report to the Reception Office where they will be required to sign in and will be issued with a Visitor Pass. Visitor Passes must be worn and displayed prominently at all times. You will also be given a yellow safeguarding leaflet which includes essential information about safeguarding in our school. Please ensure you have read this.
Whilst on school premises, ALL visitors are required to :
- dress appropriately
- use appropriate language at all times
- use adult toilets only
- treat everyone with respect and tolerance
- immediately inform one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads if a child makes a disclosure or if you have any concerns about the safety or well-being of a child.
Whilst on school premises, ALL visitors must not :
- give any personal information to pupils (e.g. phone number, email address, social media user names)
- use mobile phones
- take photographs, unless agreed with staff
Thank you for your co-operation and for supporting the school’s safeguarding procedures.
