Safeguarding

The safety and wellbeing of all children and young people is of paramount importance. Child Protection is everyone's responsibility.

Lymington Infant School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

All staff have appropriate training, guidance and support to undertake the effective safeguarding of children. Safeguarding training follows the statutory guidance as set out in the document Keeping Children Safe in Education.
