Biggin Hill Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expects all staff and the wider school community to share this commitment. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that reflect this commitment which, individually and collectively, help to create an environment where the safety, wellbeing, health and happiness of all pupils is the highest priority.
Safeguarding children, within all Inicio schools, is at the heart of our ethos. We ensure that all policies embed the guidance from the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education and Working Together to Safeguard Children (September 2025).
With the recent publication of historic experiences of sexual assault and abuse, the government and NSPCC are working together to ensure victims are signposted to support. The dedicated NSPCC Helpline-Report Abuse in Education-launched on 1st April 2021) and can be contacted by phone 0800 136 663, or by emailing help@nspcc.org.uk
As educators, we understand how important it is that our children are empowered to speak up about things that make them feel uncomfortable or they don’t feel are right. Our new Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) focuses on important issues in an age appropriate way, such as personal privacy, consent and challenging stereotypes about gender.
Our whole school approach to RSHE takes children and young people’s safety very seriously and aims to equip them to lead safe, happy and healthy lives. Parents who would like further information in this respect are encouraged to contact their child's class teacher or the school office in the first instance via adminbhps@iniciotrust.org
