Safeguarding and Wellbeing Committee

Safeguarding and Wellbeing Committee

Here at Vernon Primary School some of our Year 5 and Year 6 children are part of our Safeguarding and Wellbeing Committee. This group meet regularly to discuss safeguarding and wellbeing at our school. The children regularly support their peers in school, this includes supporting children on the playground and also discussing topics in assemblies.

2022-2023

Autumn Term 2022

Our new Safeguarding and Wellbeing Committee have been working very hard this term with a variety of projects on the go. On the 21st of November 2022 they were heavily involved in the schools safeguarding audit. A small group of children from the committee gave a tour of the school for our visitor pointing out a range of safeguarding features. The whole committee then met with our visitor to talk about safeguarding within the school, their role and to share our vital pupil voice. The feedback from this was brilliant, they did an amazing job and did themselves and our school proud. 

The committee have been working hard on some safeguarding posters to display around the school, these share information about trusted adults within the school. The aim being to make safeguarding information in school more child friendly. 

Finally the committee are also working on a PowerPoint presentation to share in an assembly in the new year. The focus will be Anti Bullying, this follows on from our marking of Anti Bullying Week 14th - 18th of November this year. The presentation will include what children can do if they are worried, who can help and some role play scenarios. 

 

2021-2022

Summer Term 2022

This term our commity have been working hard, in July they completed a safeguarding walk around the school and school grounds. The children took the lead and walked with Mrs Currall our business manager and Mr Christoforu from our site team, to look at safeguarding features within the school. The feedback was amazing and the children rated the schools safety 10/10 and they certainly left no stone unturned. 

This term the children also completed the second Anti Bullying talk to the key stage one children in school. This was a huge sucess with the children being very engaged and asking lots of questions. 

Spring Term 2022

On the 29th of March the children safeguarding and wellbeing committee delivered a very informative assembly to our children in key stage 2. This included looking at what power for good means here at Vernon and then taking time to introduce all of our “Captains for Good”. The children also delivered a presentation they had written looking at Anti Bullying. The children in the audience got involved and there were some great questions and comments.
