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

Report a Concern

 

Bury CE High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are fully committed to ensuring that consistent effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support families, children and staff at the school. The school encourages parents and children to talk freely about any concerns or worries which may affect educational progress. It is important to us that parents and pupils see the school as a safe place. Pupils and parents can report concerns via the ‘tell us‘ button which can be clicked on above.

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.
