Safeguarding
At Fordingbridge Infant and Junior School Federation, we regard the safeguarding of children as our first priority. We believe that children maximise their potential in an environment which is safe, secure and supportive of all their needs, including any needs they have for protection from abuse. We all have the right to be happy, to be safe and to learn and we all have the responsibility to make this happen. Safeguarding children underpins all aspects of our work as a school.
Kim Robertson is our Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Prevent
The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values were reiterated in 2014.
As part of The Fordingbridge Infant and Junior Schools Federation on-going safeguarding and child protection duties we are fully behind the government Prevent Strategy. We build pupils’ resilience to radicalisation by promoting British Values. We place importance on Prevent awareness training to equip staff to identify children who are at risk of being drawn into terrorism and to challenge extremist ideas. All our staff have received training on what Prevent is about and how to deal with any issues they may see inside or outside of school.
Prevent Stategy Information for Parents
Photographs
We are often asked whether parents/carers can take photos at our events, ie sports day, school plays etc.
We do need permission from parents to use photos of their children on our website, in newsletters, publications etc and the permission form is checked before we publish photos.
Therefore at school events you can only take photographs of your child for personal use and should not place any photographs taken on the school premises on social media.
E-Safety
E-Safety is a key aspect of our duty to keep children safe - both inside and outside of school. For parents and carers there is a wealth of online information which can be accessed in order to help to keep children safe online.
