Safeguarding and Child Protection at Holy Trinity 

Here at Holy Trinity, the safeguarding of our children is our highest priority. We recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.

Where it is believed that a child is at risk of or is suffering significant harm, the school will follow the procedures set out in the Blackburn with Darwen Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) Procedures.  

Our core safeguarding principles are:

• the school’s responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children is of paramount importance

• safer children make more successful learners

• representatives of the whole-school community of pupils, parents, staff and governors will be involved in policy development and review

• policies will be reviewed at least annually

​
