Safeguarding and Promoting the Welfare of Children includes: 

• Protecting children from abuse and neglect. 

• Preventing impairment of their health or development. 

• Ensuring they receive safe and effective care to enable them to have optimum life chances.

At St Richard Gwyn Catholic School, we all have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of our children.

The Designated Safeguarding Person for the school is Mrs Kate Roberts.

CEOP helps any child or young person under the age of 18 who is being

world’, or both. The CEOP Safety Centre has clear information and advice
on what can be reported to CEOP, the reporting process and what will
happen if you do decide to make a report. You can visit the CEOP Safety
Centre and make a report directly to CEOP by clicking the Click CEOP
