Safeguarding & Online Safety

Kensington Avenue Primary School believes that it is always unacceptable for a child or young person to experience abuse of any kind and recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people, by a commitment to practice that protects them.

We recognise that:

The welfare of the child is paramount

All children, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, have the right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse.

All adults working in the school have a duty to protect children/young people from all forms of harm and abuse as set out in ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024’

Working in partnership with children, young people, their parents and carers and other agencies is essential in promoting young people’s welfare.
