Safeguarding at St Peter’s 

Safeguarding Statement 

St Peter's Church of England Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff, governors, volunteers, and visitors to share this commitment. 

We recognise that keeping children safe involves creating a culture of vigilance where children feel listened to, valued, and empowered to speak out. 

Our Safeguarding Team

• Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL): Angela Hunt (Head of School)   

• Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSLs): Catrin Battista (Executive Headteacher) and Lynne McCullough (Assistant Headteacher / SENCO) 

• Nominated Safeguarding Governor: Reverend Rob Eastwood Dewing  

Contacting the Team: During school hours: Call 01275 843142 or email enquiries@sppschool.uk. If a child is in immediate danger out of hours, contact North Somerset Children’s Social Care on 01275 888808 or dial 999. 

Key Safeguarding Protocols 

• Operation Encompass: St Peter’s is an Operation Encompass school. This system directly links police reports of domestic abuse incidents in a child's household to our DSL, enabling us to provide immediate, discreet pastoral care. 

• Online Safety: The digital world is an essential part of children's lives. We teach age-appropriate digital resilience through our computing curriculum and provide parent guides for content filtering, gaming, and app safety.
