Turners Hill CofE Primary School is fully committed to promoting children’s rights, notably their right to be protected from harm, abuse and exploitation and expects all parents/carers, staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This commitment includes accepting a responsibility for the protection of children and ensuring that all concerns about a child’s safety or well-being are shared with the appropriate personnel. In most cases this will be the child’s class teacher or the Headteacher.
Turners Hill CofE Primary School has a Child Protection Policy and procedures in place. Parents and carers are welcome to read the Policy on request or through our website. This policy works within the Procedures and Guidelines as set down by the West Sussex Local Safeguarding Children Board.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.
For further information see our Policies below.
Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy
If a child has been involved in, heard or witnessed a domestic incident, Turners Hill CofE Primary’s DSL will be informed through Operation Encompass to allow immediate early intervention.
Please click the image below to visit the Safeguarding Hub Resource Page which is a free hub of national safeguarding resources to empower children, young people and all adults supporting them.
Safeguarding is a term that is ‘broader’ than ‘child protection’ and relates to action taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm.

If you are concerned for a child’s health, welfare or safety as an immediate cause for concern, please do not hesitate to contact one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs).
