At Heather, everyone s committed to ensuring the welfare of every child.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to the our safe-guarding  commitment. 

Our Safeguarding Policy and E Safety Policy - which includes acceptable use policy, photograph policy etc. can be found in the Policies section of our website or by clicking here.

We work closely in partnership with other agencies when we are concerned about a child's welfare. 

Every member of staff employed within school, as well as regular volunteers are checked before they take up their posts to ensure they have a current DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate. As a Leicestershire school we are part of Operation Encompass, which means that the Headteacher will be informed if police have attended a domestic violence incident.
