Lever House Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires all staff and volunteers to share and demonstrate this commitment in every aspect of their work. At Lever House, all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors are made aware of our safeguarding procedures and all staff are given full safeguarding training on an annual basis or during their induction. If at any time we have concerns over the safeguarding of any child, then we have a duty of care to ensure that the information is passed onto our designated senior safeguarding leader and, if deemed appropriate, to social care/the police.

Our Designated Safeguarding Leader is Miss. E. Cooper (Headteacher).

Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leaders are Mrs. Dawson (Deputy Head), Miss Mullarkey (Assistant Head) and Amanda Sarson (Family Support Worker).

In addition to rigorous safeguarding procedures, we also try to maximise every opportunity within the curriculum to educate pupils about how to keep them safe. At Lever House Primary School we use the PSHE scheme 1Decision to teach our pupils how to stay safe in all situations. 

Lever House Primary School is part of Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass is a unique Police and Education early intervention safeguarding partnership, which ensures that a child/young person’s school/college is informed prior to the start of school the next day, that there has been an incident of Domestic Abuse or any incident to which the child/young person has been exposed, in which they may be considered to be vulnerable to harm, and which might then have an impact on them in school/college the following day. A nominated member of staff, known as the key adult, has been trained to liaise with the police. At Lever House Primary School, our key adult is Miss E Cooper. They will be able to use information that has been shared with them, in confidence, to ensure that school makes provision for possible difficulties experienced by children or their families.
