At the Plymouth Nursery School Federation we have a strong commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children. We work together with a range of other agencies to ensure that we are able to identify, assess, and support children who may be suffering harm.

We recognise that all adults, including temporary staff, volunteers and governors, have a full and active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm, and that the child’s welfare is our paramount concern.

Full details of our commitment and safeguarding procedures can be found in our safeguarding policy in the 'general policies' section of this website.

If you are concerned about the safety or wellbeing of a child, do not hesitate to speak to one of our safeguarding team or contact one of the agencies below.
