Garth Primary School is committed to ensuring the safety, welfare and protection of all children in our care. 

We ensure that:

• We promote a culture of safeguarding across the school and ensure that all staff understand their responsibilities in identifying and reporting disclosures or concerns about a child.
• All practitioners understand and follow the school's safeguarding policy.
• We adhere to the 'All Wales Safeguarding Procedures'.
• We consider the wishes and well-being needs of every child, so that they receive the care and support they need.
• We follow BCBC safe recruitment procedures. All staff and volunteers who work within the school have enhanced DBS checks.  
• We work closely with relevant outside agencies (such as health and police) to safeguard children and make referrals to children’s services if required.
