Safeguarding
School Statement
At Ironville and Codnor Park Primary School we aim to help each child develop as an individual within a safe, caring and inspiring community. All children are given the opportunity through the school curriculum to achieve their full potential in a safe and nurturing environment, to learn self - respect and care for each other and the world in which they live.
We strive to offer an enabling environment for children and staff, where risks are minimised and well managed, and children are protected from harm and all types of abuse; where staff are vigilant for signs of any child in distress and are confident about applying the safeguarding procedures.
Child Protection
Parents should be aware that the school is required to take any reasonable action to safeguard its children. In cases where the school has reason to be concerned that a child may be subject to ill- treatment, neglect or other forms of abuse, the Headteacher is obliged to follow the Child Protection procedures established by the Derbyshire Area Child Protection Committee and inform the Social Services of the concern.
When the school refers a concern about a child to the Social Services Department, it is not accusing the parents/carers of abuse but requesting that further investigation takes place to establish whether a child is at risk.

Health & Safety
The Health & Safety leader makes regular inspections together with a designated member of the Local Governing Body. Reports are made to the Headteachers who ensures any necessary action is taken. The school complies with all national and local Health & Safety Regulations.
Mobile phones, cameras and other electronic devices with imaging and sharing capabilities
Please note that the above items cannot be used on school grounds for safeguarding reasons unless a member of the Senior Leadership Team has given you permission.
Photographs
We recognise that parents, carers and family members may wish to record events such as school plays, sports days etc to celebrate their child’s achievements. However due to safeguarding reasons we do not allow this.
Any objections to this policy should be addressed to the Headteacher.
Filtering and Monitoring
Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024 requires schools in England to “ensure appropriate filters and appropriate monitoring systems are in place” and they “should be doing all that they reasonably can to limit children’s exposure to risks from the school’s IT system.” What's more, Ironville and Codnor Park Primary School has a duty to provide a safe learning environment, which includes protecting our children from harmful content online.
What is Filtering and Monitoring?
Filtering means blocking harmful internet sites and inappropriate content.
Our filtering system limits access to harmful sites and inappropriate content without stopping children from recognising their responsibility in keeping themselves and others safe, and without negatively impacting our teaching and learning provision.
Monitoring is the procedures and protocols employed to ensure that there is a robust approach to checking that our systems are effective and that we respond swiftly to incidents of concern.
The Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) are responsible for monitoring and responding to any incidents raised by Smoothwall and acting appropriately. The DSLs are trained in how to respond to monitoring concerns, should the need arise.
To support with the above, we use the Etke (formally eSafety4Schools) web filtering solution and Smoothwall monitoring system. All data captured by Etke and Smoothwall is managed in compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018.
