Holmer Lake Primary School

Children’s Safeguarding Board  

At Holmer lake the children strive to be caring and considerate. As part of helping one another we have developed a Children's Safeguarding Board to promote and improve safety across school for all of our children. The Children’s Safeguarding Board is made up of children from Year4-6, who work alongside the PSA and Safeguarding Governor to keep children safe at Holmer Lake.

The Safeguarding Board meet every two weeks for meetings to discuss ideas that shape safeguarding and implement change. Every Wednesday they deliver a ‘tell us your worries’ on the playground session, the children can visit the Safeguarding Board to share worries or concerns they might have.  

There are worry boxes and designated worry tables around school which children can also use, helping to ensure all children feel safe and listened to at Holmer Lake  

The children receive regular training about the things that are going on in the world and help other children to understand and manage this. They work closely with the Telford and Wrekin Children’s Safeguarding Board. Their work has included:

• Writing a leaflet to help children understand the different categories of abuse.
• Writing a leaflet to help children understand about sexting and Youth Produced Sexual images.
• Delivering assemblies about LGBT.
• Delivering the NSPCC PANTS campaign.
• Tackling homophobia and racism.
• Working with the local policing team on anti-social behaviour. 
• Undertaking Road Safety training and delivering an assembly.
