--- title: "Safeguarding" url: "https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/safeguarding/safeguarding-at-harlowbury" school: "Harlowbury Primary School" --- # Safeguarding ## Safeguarding at Harlowbury At Harlowbury Primary School, safeguarding is our highest priority. We work to ensure all pupils are safe in school, at home, online and in the wider community, promoting their wellbeing, confidence and independence. All staff have a duty of care and follow child protection procedures if there are concerns about a child’s safety or welfare, working with Children’s Services where required. Our [Safeguarding Policy](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/policies) is reviewed annually, or sooner if updated guidance is issued by the Department for Education (DfE). The policy is monitored by designated safeguarding leads, who liaise with the local authority when necessary. If you have any safeguarding concerns or a child makes a disclosure, please contact one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads as soon as possible. You can speak to us in person, call the school office, or email , and your concern will be followed up promptly. ### Our Safeguarding Team - Tom Clarke - Designated Safeguarding Lead - Sarah Martin - Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead If you are unable to locate one of the above colleagues please contact a Designated Safeguarding Lead at one of the other NET Harlow Cluster Schools: - **Katherines** \| 01279 421 495 - **Jerounds** \| 01279 423 485 - **Abbotsweld** \| 01279 630 120 - **Latton Green** \| 01279 421 567 - **Longwood** \| 01279 866 149 ### Safeguarding Guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education 1.59 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harlowbury-primary-school/files/documents/Keeping_children_safe_in_education_2025.pdf) Working Together to Safeguard Children 1.18 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harlowbury-primary-school/files/documents/Working_together_to_safeguard_children_2023_-_statutory_guidance.pdf) Teaching Online Safety in Schools 883 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harlowbury-primary-school/files/documents/Teaching_online_safety_in_school_June_2019.pdf) ### Useful Links - [Childline](http://www.childline.org.uk/) - [Kooth ](https://www.kooth.com/) - [Childnet](https://www.childnet.com/parents-and-carers/) - [Virgin Media Support for Parents](https://www.virginmedia.com/blog/online-safety/childrens-internet-safety-test/) - [NSPCC](https://www.nspcc.org.uk/) - [The 2 Johns ](http://www.esafetytraining.org/) ### Our School - [Welcome](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/welcome) - [Our Vision & Values](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/our-vision-and-values) - [Policies](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [Safeguarding](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/safeguarding/safeguarding-at-harlowbury) - [Speech & Language Specialist Resource Provision](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/speech-language-specialist-resource-provision) - [Ofsted & Results](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-and-results) - [British Values](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/british-values) - [Governors](https://netacademies.net/about-net/governance/local-governing-body-fawbert-barnards-and-harlowbury) - [Meet the Staff & Trust](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/meet-the-staff-trust) - [Pupil Premium & Sports Premium](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/pupil-premium-and-sports-premium) - [Website Accessibility Statement](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/website-accessibility-statement) ### Harlowbury Primary School Old Oak Way Harlow CM17 0GJ 01279 423444 ### Quick Links - [Emergency Closures](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/parents/emergency-school-closures) - [School Meals](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/parents/school-meals) - [Policies](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/our-school/policies) ### Useful Links - [Absence](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/parents/absence) - [Wraparound Childcare](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/parents/wraparound-child-care) - [Early Years](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/eyfs/eyfs-curriculum) - [Vacancies](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/careers/current-vacancies) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/harlowburysch) ### Translation [![NET Academies](https://files.schudio.com/harlowbury-primary-school/images/logo/net_logo.png)](https://netacademies.net) © Copyright 2025–2026 Harlowbury Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://harlowbury.essex.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) [![](https://files.schudio.com/harlowbury-primary-school/images/splash/Abbotsweld_New_to_Reception_2026_(2).png)](https://www.trybooking.com/uk/GZSS)
