We take the safety and wellbeing of the children in our school very seriously and we expect all staff, volunteers, governors and parents to do the same. We have a Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy which is available below. Other policies which affect the well being of our children are: Attendance, Behaviour, Anti Bullying and Responsible Internet Usage Key Stage 1 and 2. We follow the Safer Recruitment Policy and the Department of Education guidance: Keeping Children Safe in Education (see below) We follow data protection and confidentiality policies. We have a Health and Safety Policy for the practical protection of children and conduct regular safety walks with the governors and leadership team. All staff and governors receive regular child protection training and safeguarding training. DBS clearance is carried out for all adults working within the school. We are fully committed to the Prevent Strategy as part of our safeguarding and child protection duties and all staff receive training. We have 3 key members of staff that are Designated Safeguarding Leads. The most senior Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Debbie Tinkler. She is our Head Teacher. The others are as follows: Mrs Bianca Cousin - Deputy DSL Miss Heather Lowthian - Deputy DSL Lead Governor for safeguarding is Kaya Bennett. You can report any safeguarding concerns you may have about your own or other children to any of these people in school. They can be contacted via the school office or email. If we have concerns about the welfare of a child we will usually share them with parents and offer support. If concerns are significant we may wish to make a referral to Children's Services and ask for an assessment. In almost all cases we will tell parents if we are going to make a referral and ask for their consent. If we think that to tell a parent would increase risk of harm to a child then we will refer without parents' consent. ![](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/images/8bb092027fda4590b957da86136f3a94_1x1.jpeg) ### Bolton Primary School Safeguarding Policy Child Protection Policy 778 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Child_Protection_Policy%20(1).pdf) ### Bolton Primary School Online Safety Policy Online Safety Policy 686 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Online_Safety_Policy%20(1).pdf) ### Bolton Primary School Whole School Behaviour and Anti-Bullying Policy Behaviour Policy 1.54 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Behaviour_Policy%20(1).pdf) ### Keeping Children Safe in Education (2025) Keeping children safe in education from 1 September 2025 1.44 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Keeping_children_safe_in_education_from_1_September_2025.pdf) Keeping children safe in education 2025 part one Information for school college staff 770 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Keeping_children_safe_in_education_2025_part_one_Information_for_school_college_staff.pdf) ### Cumbria Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP) - [Cumbria Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP)](https://cumbriasafeguardingchildren.co.uk/) ### Advice for Parents and Carers on Cyberbullying Advice for parents on cyberbullying 209 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Advice_for_parents_on_cyberbullying.pdf) ### Working Together (DfE 2023) Working together to safeguard children 2023 1.94 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Working_together_to_safeguard_children_2023.pdf) ### Prevent Duty Prevent Duty Guidance 897 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Prevent_Duty_Guidance.pdf) ### Key Information - [Admissions](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Attendance and absence procedures](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/attendance-and-absence-procedures) - [British Values](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/british-values) - [Equality](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/equality) - [Financial Information](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/financial-information) - [GDPR](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/gdpr) - [Governors](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/governors) - [Policies](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Local Offer](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/local-offer) - [Ofsted and Performance Data](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/ofsted-and-performance-data) - [Online Safety Information](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/online-safety-information) - [PE and Sport Premium](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/pe-and-sport-premium) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Safeguarding Information](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/safeguarding-information) - [School Improvement](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/school-improvement) - [School Values](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/school-values) - [SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/send-special-educational-needs-and-disabilities) ![Bolton Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/images/logo/logo.png) ### Bolton Primary School Appleby-in-Westmorland Cumbria CA16 6AW 017683 61511 ### Helpful Links - [Prospectus](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/about-us/prospectus) - [School Day](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/about-us/our-school-day) - [Admissions](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Governors](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/governors) ### Useful Links - [Policies](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Term Dates](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/parents/term-dates) - [Curriculum](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/bolton-primary-curriculum) - [Newsletter](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/newsletters) ### Translation © Copyright 2026 Bolton Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
