Barton Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Please explore our policies below.

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare.  We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would contrary to the child's welfare. 

We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism .
