Safeguarding Statement
Gilded Hollins Community Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and staff, and expects all adults to share this commitment. We work with other agencies to ensure adequate arrangements are in place within our school to prevent harm.
We recognise that all adults have a part to play in protecting our pupils. The welfare of our children is our paramount concern. We strive to provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment that promotes the social, physical and moral development of the individual child.
Our Safeguarding Governor is Mrs Liz Haworth.
