At Bude Park Primary, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. We take our responsibility to protect both children and adults extremely seriously.
We operate a rigorous recruitment process to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children and for the roles they undertake. This includes careful checks at every stage of the recruitment process and continued vigilance through ongoing monitoring once staff are appointed.
The health, safety and welfare of our children are always a top priority. We have clear procedures in place to address any concerns, including inappropriate behaviour, and these are consistently followed by all staff.
Our commitment to safeguarding is embedded in our daily practice and supported by meticulous policies, procedures and processes that help ensure every child feels safe, happy and secure at school.

Hull Safeguarding Children Partnership
Operation Encompass is a police and education early information sharing partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support for children and young people experiencing domestic abuse. Information is shared by the police with a school’s trained Key Adult (DSL) prior to the start of the next school day after officers have attended a domestic abuse incident thus enabling appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child.
Children experiencing domestic abuse are negatively impacted by this exposure; domestic abuse has been identified as an Adverse Childhood Experience and can lead to emotional, physical and psychological harm. Operation Encompass aims to mitigate this harm by enabling immediate support, making a child’s day better and giving them a better tomorrow.
Operation Encompass believes that children are victims of domestic abuse in their own right and should be acknowledged as such.
