Our Safeguarding Policy sets out systems and procedures as outlined by relevant legislation and documentation including, Keeping Children Safe in Education September 2021, Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018, Safeguarding Children In Education – Safer Recruitment (2012), and the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015 (The ‘Prevent Duty’). We strongly believe that all children have the right to feel safe and to be protected from physical, sexual or emotional abuse and neglect. Your children tell us that they feel very safe in our school. Please share any concerns or suggestions in regards to safeguarding with us. Speak to any member of our team or ask to speak to: Designated Safeguarding Lead – Mrs Jenny Nicol Deputy Safeguarding Officers – Mrs Annette Threlfall, Miss Terri Buchan and Mrs Vicky Webster ### Safeguarding Mobile Phone Policy 101 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/westminster-primary-academy/files/documents/Westminster__Mobile_phone_policy.pdf) Westminster Primary Academy Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy 2026-27 2.06 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/westminster-primary-academy/files/documents/Westminster_Safeguarding_-_Child_Protection_Policy_2026_27_.docx(2).pdf) Acceptable Use Policy 147 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/westminster-primary-academy/files/documents/Acceptable_Use_Agreement_(1).pdf) Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 1.67 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/westminster-primary-academy/files/documents/Keeping_children_safe_in_education_2026.pdf) Working Together to Safeguard Children - Government Publication 2026 2.05 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/westminster-primary-academy/files/documents/Working_together_to_safeguard_children_2026_a_guide_to_multi_agency_working.pdf) Restrictive interventions including use of reasonable force in schools - DFE guidance 692 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/westminster-primary-academy/files/documents/Restrictive_interventions_including_use_of_reasonable_force_in_schools.pdf) ![](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/images/Safeguarding_poster.jpg) ### Key Information - [Anti-Bullying](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/parents/anti-bullying) - [FCAT Central Documents](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/information/fcat-central-documents) - [Ofsted Reports](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/about-us/ofsted-reports) - [Our School Offer](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/about-us/our-school-offer) - [Policies](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/information/policies) - [Pupil Premium](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/information/pupil-premium) - [Safeguarding](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/information/safeguarding) - [School Performance Tables](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/information/school-performance-tables) - [SEND](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/information/send) - [Supplemental Funding Agreement](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/information/supplemental-funding-agreement) ![Westminster Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/westminster-primary-academy/images/icon/Westminster_Logo_CP_RGB_PNG.png) **Westminster Primary Academy** Westminster Road Blackpool Lancashire FY1 2QE Tel: 01253 621703 Email: ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/westminsterfcat) ### Newsletter ### Translation © Copyright 2018–2026 Westminster Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://westminsterprimary.co.uk/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
