Bury CE High School

BURY CE HIGH SCHOOL
A Church of England Academy with the vision to empower all students to let their light shine.

Safeguarding

At Bury Church, we take safeguarding very seriously and are committed to safeguarding children and promoting their emotional and physical welfare. We expect all staff, parents, governors and visitors to share this commitment, and support our students and safeguarding team in creating a safe environment by remaining vigilant and placing the welfare of the child above all other concerns.

If you suspect a child is suffering abuse or neglect, or you are concerned for their emotional or physical wellbeing, you have a responsibility to act without delay and report your concerns to a member of the safeguarding team.

Mr Craig, Designated Safeguarding Lead and Mrs Foster and Mrs Hopwood-Ryan, both Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads, are the main contacts for any safeguarding concerns.  However, safeguarding worries can be reported to any member of the Safeguarding Team.  They are contactable by email on offman@burychurch.bury.sch.uk

Please be aware that any information shared with school will be dealt with confidentially and sensitively and with the best interests of the child or young person in mind.

Operation Encompass

Our school is part of Operation Encompass. This is a police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people who experience Domestic Abuse.

Operation Encompass means that the police will share information about Domestic Abuse incidents with our school PRIOR to the start of the next school day when they have been called to a domestic incident.

All schools in the Bury local authority are supporting Operation Encompass which is now being adopted by many police forces and schools around the UK.
