Keeping our children safe
At Stoke Gabriel Primary School we strongly recognise the need for vigilant awareness of safeguarding issues. All staff have received appropriate training and induction so that they understand their roles and responsibilities and are confident about carrying them out. Staff, pupils, parents and governors feel secure that they can raise any issues or concerns about the safety or welfare of children and know that they will be listened to and taken seriously. This is achieved by maintaining an ethos of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. At our school we are not afraid to challenge each other to keep our children safe.
We all have a safeguarding responsibility and have a duty to refer any safeguarding issues to external agencies that need to be involved.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for our school is: Alice Eeles (Academy Head)

Educate Against Hate/PREVENT Duty
The PREVENT duty is the duty in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 on specifies authorities, in the exercise of their functions, to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.
The government have launched a website aimed at supporting parents in implementing the PREVENT Duty. There are some useful resources on the website including written advice and signposting to other organisations. For more information go to educateagainsthate.com
If you have any worries or questions relating to this and are worried about your child, please contact school, or phone 101 to speak to the Police who have specially trained PREVENT officers.
Operation Encompass
At Stoke Gabriel we are part of project that runs jointly between schools and Devon and Cornwall Police.
Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident.
Operation Encompass will ensure that a member of the school staff, known as a Key Adult, is trained to allow them to liaise with the police and to use the information that has been shared, in confidence, while ensuring that the school is able to make a provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in, or exposed to, a domestic abuse incident.
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.
