The safety and welfare of all children at Fetcham Village Infant School is our highest priority.

We provide a secure and caring environment so that every child can feel safe and learn in safety. In all matters relating to child protection the school will follow the procedures laid down by Surrey Children’s Safeguarding Partnership together with the DfE guidance contained in Working Together to Safeguard Children updated December 2020, and Keeping Children Safe in Education September 2023.

We recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. The purpose of our policy (available to download below) is to provide staff, volunteers and governors with the framework they need in order to keep children safe and secure in our school by ensuring all staff uphold the expected professional standards and behaviours.
