Bevendean Primary School
and Nursery

"Leaders have created a culture where everyone understands their safeguarding duties. Staff know pupils well and are swift to discuss and report anything that might show that a child is not safe. Leaders follow things up and have daily meetings about vulnerable pupils. Leaders have a close working relationship with outside agencies and Inspection report: Bevendean Primary School 4–5 December 2019 3 communicate effectively with them to help pupils and their families."

Safeguarding
Our school is part of Operation Encompass which is a national scheme that operates jointly between schools and police forces.
Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse.
As a school we have ensured that members of our staff, (Designated Safeguarding Leads) known as a Key Adults, has been trained in the Operation Encompass procedures allowing us to then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to support the child/ren in our care.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 identifies children who experience domestic abuse as victims of domestic abuse in their own right.
We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.

Prevent Strategy: Radicalisation
Prevent is one of the 4 strands of CONTEST, the UK’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The Prevent Strategy aims ‘to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism’.
In Brighton & Hove, we work to identify and support people who are susceptible to radicalisation. We work to intervene at the earliest opportunity. We protect communities from radicalising influences to reduce the risk and harms of terrorism. If you have any concerns, please speak to one of the DSLs.
