Child Protection and Safeguarding

The concept of Pastoral care runs through all our strands at Silverstream Primary School and Nursery Unit. All members of staff, operating within our staff code of conduct, have a pastoral responsibility towards the children in their care and take all responsible and measurable steps to ensure their welfare is guarded and safety preserved.

We work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to ensure the welfare of the child is paramount. This includes teams such as: Social Services, PSNI, Community Nursing, Education Welfare and Trust Staff, to name but a few.

Our staff receive annual child protection training refresher as part of our school policy.
