Our school aims to ensure that:
- Appropriate action is taken in a timely manner to safeguard and promote children’s welfare
- All staff are aware of their statutory responsibilities with respect to safeguarding;
- Staff are properly trained in recognising and reporting safeguarding issues;
- The Governing Body and staff of Nields JIN School take as our first priority the responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of our pupils, to minimise risk and to work together with other agencies to ensure rigorous arrangements are in place within our school to identify, assess and support those children who are suffering harm and to keep them safe and secure whilst in our care;
- The responsibilities set out in our safeguarding policy apply (as appropriate) to all members of the school community including pupils, staff, governors, visitors/contractors, volunteers and trainees working within the school. It is fully incorporated into the whole school ethos and is underpinned throughout the teaching of the curriculum, within Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education (PSHE) and within the safety of the physical environment provided for the pupils.

Online Safety
At Nields we are fully committed to keeping our pupils and staff safe when online and acknowledge this in our school safeguarding procedures.
As a community, we value the opportunities offered by the internet and other technologies used in everyday life but at the same time, we educate our children about the risks and highlight the steps we need to take to avoid them both in and out of school.
Our Online Safety Lead is Mr J Toon, who works in close partnership with the Leadership team and all school staff. As staff, we ensure that online safety awareness is an integral part of our computing curriculum in classes as well as in cross-curricular lessons and assemblies.
Our expectations for responsible and appropriate conduct are set out in our Acceptable Use Policies (AUP), which we expect all staff and pupils to follow. Every child takes the AUP home to read with parents and without parental signatures, children are not permitted to use the internet unsupervised.
If you have any questions or concerns relating to online safety, please contact our Online Safety Lead, Mr Toon.
