Our policy applies to all staff, governors and volunteers working in the school. The full safeguarding policy is on the Policies tab of the website. ### Key Information. - The designated and trained safeguarding leads are Mr. Rakowski, Mr. Doak and Miss Sasenarine. - If you have a safeguarding concern, it is your legal duty to share that concern with the appropriate person, normally the school safeguarding lead. This is as true for parents as members of school staff. If the concern is about the headteacher, you must inform the Chair of Governors. - When we recruit staff for school, every step of the safer recruitment guidelines are followed, irrespective of the nature of the post. - All staff must be up to date with Keeping Children Safe in Education ### Keeping Children Safe in Education Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 1.44 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Keeping_children_safe_in_education_2025.pdf) ### Prevent Duty As part of our school’s ongoing safeguarding and child protection duties we support the government’s **Prevent Strategy**. All schools are subject to a duty under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, in the exercise of their functions, to have, “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”. This duty is known as the **Prevent Duty for Schools**. At St. Joseph's, we build pupils’ resilience to radicalisation by promoting fundamental British values and enabling our pupils to challenge extremist views. The statutory guidance refers to the importance of **Prevent** awareness training to equip staff to identify pupils at risk of being drawn into terrorism and to challenge extremist ideas. The Home Office has developed a core training product for this purpose – Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP). All our staff have received WRAP training. **[NSPCC PANTS poster](https://www.nspcc.org.uk/globalassets/documents/advice-and-info/the-underwear-rule---guide-for-parents-new-brand.pdf)** Simple conversations to keep your child safe from abuse ### Key Information - [Academy](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/academy-consultation) - [Admissions](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Calendar dates](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/calendar) - [SEND](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/send) - [Pupil Premium](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Sports Premium](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/sports-premium) - [Policies](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/policies) - [Ofsted and Diocesan Inspections](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/ofsted-and-diocesan-inspections) - [Safeguarding](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/safeguarding) - [Financial Information](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/financial-information) - [Vacancies](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/key-information/vacancies) - [![Cool Milk](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/coolmilk-logo(1).jpg)](https://www.coolmilk.com/) - [![Junior Adventures](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/Junior_Adventures.png)](https://www.junioradventuresgroup.co.uk/find-us/st-josephs-primary-school-hanwell/) - [![School Money](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/img.cdn.schooljotter2(4).jpg)](https://eduspot.co.uk/) - [![Feeding Hungry Minds](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/Screenshot_2021-08-26_at_15.01.19.png)](https://parents.feedinghungryminds.co.uk/login) - [![Juniper](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/JuniperUniformLogo(3).png)](https://www.juniperuniform.com/product-category/schools/st-josephs-catholic-primary-school/) ![St Joseph's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(1).png) ### Contact Us **St Joseph's Catholic Primary School** York Avenue Hanwell London W7 3HU Tel: 0208 567 6293 © Copyright 2021–2026 St Joseph's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjosephshanwell.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
