Safeguarding Statement
Our school is committed to ensuring the safety of all pupils. At Burghfield St Mary's safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and it is the responsibility of all adults working at the school to protect the pupils and report any concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Leads.

- Ensures every effort is made to establish effective working relationships with parents
- Follows rigorous procedures for the safe recruitment of staff
- Ensures that all staff receive appropriate and regular safeguarding training
- Work closely with partner organisations
