Redmarley Church Of England Primary School

Safeguarding

At Redmarley Primary Academy we focus on being child centred in our approach to safeguarding and wellbeing. We work to prevent, support and repair, cultivating a vigilant culture focused on ensuring every child is safe and well in line with statutory guidance.

Support for children and families

We recognise the challenges that children and their families encounter and are here to support, listen and seek solutions together. Our safeguarding team work hand in hand with our SENCO, Pastoral Lead and Elsa, to enable us to find the right support for child and family. Being part of Primary Quest Trust ensures that we have access to expertise from across a range of settings. Our School Elsa is Miss Pimm, who provides emotional support for children. We also offer Therabuild (play therapy through Lego) and Drawing and Talking therapy. Please visit our mental health and wellbeing page to learn more.

Early Help

At Redmarley Primary Academy, we are focused on providing Early Help to our children and families to promote support as soon as we can. The Early Help process respects every family’s right to access information to manage their own lives successfully, whilst seeking support from appropriate sources.

From time to time, we all go through situations which are difficult to cope with. At these times, we need help and advice, but finding the right department or agency can be a minefield. The Early Help Offer gives parents a framework for asking for support. An assessment form may be completed, or signposting given, to provide parents and families with services who can help. This is only done with consent.

If you are ever in doubt, or feel like you need support to meet your individual needs please come and talk to us. We are here for you.
