Alkborough Primary School
Welcome to
Alkborough Primary School
Safeguarding and Child Protection 
Alkborough Primary School is fully committed to the safeguarding of our pupils - ensuring the well being of the children is paramount. For pupils to feel that they are able to do their best and achieve their true potential, it is important that they feel safe and supported in our school environment.
Everyone working within our school, whatever their role, is acutely aware that issues to do with the protection of children are of the highest possible importance.
In relation to safeguarding, Alkborough Primary School aims to ‘prevent’, ‘protect’ and ‘support’ all its pupils by addressing child protection in the curriculum, pastoral activities and in the management of the school, and by empowering and enabling staff to be vigilant for vulnerable students through regular, on-going training and the dissemination of information. We also involve our pupils in regular assemblies with visiting agencies and workshops which will enable them to stay safe online, in school and at home.
The School’s Safeguarding Policy can be found using the following links:
Parents and carers play a role in safeguarding children in their community. If you have any concerns,
no matter how small, you should report them to someone who you trust will listen. Parents and children should speak to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (Miss J Ashton) if they have any concerns about a child or staff member.
If you think a child or young person may be in immediate danger, call 999.
Otherwise contact North Lincolnshire Children’s Services Single Point of Contact on 01724 296500 (9am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, 9am-4:30pm Friday), 08081 689667 (free phone) and 01724 296555 out of hours.
You can also call the NSPCC on 0808 800 50001
If you are a child who is worried about yourself or someone else call Childline on 0800 11 11.

Families can sometimes need support from a wide range of agencies. We recognise that other agencies will be able to support children and families based on their specialised work. Therefore, our role is often to signpost families to the resources that will best support their needs.

Early Help
Early Help means providing support to our children and families as soon as a problem emerges, at any point in a child’s life.
Alkborough Primary School works to provide Early Help to those children and families in the school community with emerging needs, which may not be appropriate for Children Services intervention.
We understand just how complicated family life can be. From time to time, there may be situations where you need some extra help and support. If things are not right at home, please come and talk to us. We can help in many ways.
