Safeguarding at St. Nicholas

At St. Nicholas Catholic Primary School, we make the safeguarding of the children in our care our number one priority!

Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy - Sept 2026

​

In matters of Safeguarding & Child Protection, we have a whole school approach following two key principles:

1. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility!

2. It could happen here!

The school will follow the procedures set out by the Local Authority, St. John Paul II Multi Academy and the Archdiocese; working closely with other agencies including the Social Services, Health Services and/or Police.

 

The Designated Safeguarding Leader (DSL) responsible for Safeguarding & Child Protection is the Head Teacher. This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All adults who work unsupervised with our children are DBS checked.

We have joined with Operation Encompass to support West Midlands Police in their fight against domestic abuse.
