Child Protection and Safeguarding

Canterbury Nursery School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare, both physical and emotional, of every pupil both inside and outside of the school premises. We implement a whole-school preventative approach to managing safeguarding concerns, ensuring that the well-being of pupils is at the forefront of all action taken.  Below we have provided details of who to contact if you have any concerns regarding a child's welfare or safety.  For our full Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy click here, copies are available from reception.
