Safeguarding Team & Information
At Salisbury Road Primary we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and we expect all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment. We all have the responsibility to make this happen.This means that we have a Child Protection Policy and procedures which we follow. Parents and carers are welcome to read the policy attached below.
Operation Encompass
Salisbury Road Primary are proud to be part of Operation Encompass, as are all of our LAT schools.
If police are called to an incident of domestic abuse and any children in the household have experienced the incident, the police will inform the key adult in school (usually the designated safeguarding lead) before the child or children arrive at school the following day.
Connect 2
If you have concerns regarding a child, there is a local organisation previously called Plymouth Early Help Team, (EHAST). This is now called Connect2.
You can book an appointment to talk about support.
Within the Salisbury Road area, the Team practice manager is John Drury & our own school support worker, is Gemma Osborne.
