Safeguarding Information for Parents

Behaviour Management

It is NOT ok to hit your child with a stick, wooden spoon, slipper or any other object it is ILLEGAL.

Hitting a child with any object is a form of ASSAULT  and  CHILD ABUSE .

Part of our job at Palfrey Junior School is to make sure all children are safe and free from the risk of harm – at school and at home. In line with our Safeguarding Policy we will report any safeguarding concerns we have to Social Services and / or the Police.

This is NOT a cultural issue , you should not use this as an excuse. We are in the UK and hitting a child with an object  is AGAINST THE LAW!

School is running a special parenting programme on 31st January - if you feel you need to learn new ways to effectively and safely discipline your children please contact Mrs Nadat and sign up.

The school’s Safeguarding Policy can be found in the Policy section of the school’s website
