Staffing Procedures, Safeguarding & Child Protection
Easton Royal Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
The DFE has revised its safeguarding document in September 2019: 'Keeping children safe in education: information for all school and college staff'. All our staff and governors have read this document and have been provided with hard copies for future reference.
Please see the excalibur website for our whistleblowing policy:

Complaints & Concerns
The majority of concerns can be dealt with without resorting to the procedure. Where you have a concern about any aspect of the school or your child’s education or wellbeing, raise this with your child’s class teacher via the phone or in person. Ideally, they will be able to address your concerns on the spot, or can arrange a meeting with you to discuss the issue. If they are unable to resolve your concern, please do contact Ms Stubbs via the school office, who will be happy to help.
If your concern relates to the emotional or physical safety of a child, please see Ms Stubbs (designated safeguarding lead) or Mrs Turner (deputy safeguarding lead) as a matter of urgency.
All concerns will be dealt with confidentially, although the staff member may need to take notes if they feel that the matter may need to be taken further or may arise again in the future. Any such notes will be kept in accordance with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998. However, such notes would be able to be used to as evidence if further investigation was required, or if the concern became a formal complaint.
