At Joseph’s we recognise the importance of all our children feeling safe as we recognise this as a condition of being ready to learn. Safeguarding at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is given top priority. All adults in our school have a responsibility for Safeguarding. We believe that it is important to make children aware of behaviour towards them that is not acceptable, and our RSHE curriculum, TenTen, supports children in recognising when their personal rights are being compromised.
