Safeguarding

Catch22’s approach to safeguarding all of our learners is founded in the nature of our relationships. We prioritise assessing and managing the needs of our learners and have a dynamic approach to identification, assessment and response to risk.

The 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

What to do if you have any concerns:

​As a parent, carer or member of our community you may become concerned about the health, safety and welfare of a child who attends Catch22 Newport Primary.

​You should contact the school and ask to speak to one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) if you are;

• concerned that a child is not safe
• concerned that a child may not be safe
• think a child might be being abused

​During school hours (8:00am to 4:30pm) you should phone 01633 848782

If you have serious concerns because you think that a child might be being abused (physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or neglect) you should contact the Children’s Services Department at http://sewsc.org.uk/

During office hours (8.30am to 5.00pm) you should contact Children’s Services by phone on 01633 656656
