Safeguarding and Child Protection

Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility.

At Barwick-in-Elmet, the safety and wellbeing of our children is our highest priority. We want every child to feel safe, listened to and confident that there is always an adult who will help them. Our staff know our children well and work closely with families and other professionals to identify concerns early and provide the right support.

We notice. We listen. We act.

Safeguarding at Barwick

Helping children keep themselves safe

Safeguarding isn't only about how adults protect children. We also teach children the knowledge and skills they need to recognise risks, make safe choices and know where to go for help. Click here for more information on how we hep children to learn to be safe at Barwick.

Family Help

Sometimes children and families need additional help before difficulties become more serious. We work in partnership with families and other services to identify needs early and help families access appropriate support. If you think your family might benefit from some additional help, please talk to us. Asking for support early can make a real difference.
