Our Commitment to Safeguarding
The Safeguarding Team meets regularly to share information, discuss concerns, review cases and ensure that safeguarding practice remains effective, robust and responsive to the needs of our pupils.

- Domestic Abuse
- Online Safety
- Early Help
- Prevent and Radicalisation
- Mental Health and Wellbeing
All staff receive regular safeguarding updates and annual child protection training to ensure they remain vigilant and confident in recognising and responding to safeguarding concerns.
External Support and Quality Assurance
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding, Conway Primary School works closely with the Royal Borough of Greenwich Safeguarding Team and the Local Authority Safeguarding Lead Officer for Education.
This partnership provides:
- Professional supervision and support for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, including oversight of child protection casework and records.
- Specialist safeguarding training for staff and governors.
- Independent audits of safeguarding procedures and child protection files.
- Ongoing guidance, advice and challenge to ensure compliance with statutory safeguarding requirements and best practice.
Through this collaborative approach, we continually review and strengthen our safeguarding arrangements to ensure that every child receives the protection, support and care they need.
At Conway Primary School, safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and we are committed to working with pupils, families, staff, governors and external agencies to promote the welfare and wellbeing of all children.
