Child Protection Policy

At Catterline School, the wellbeing and safety of all is our main priority. 

“Every child has the right to be protected from being hurt or badly treated.”

United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child, (Article 19)

     Child Protection means protecting a child from abuse or neglect.

It is important to understand that Child Protection is the responsibility of all.

If you have a concern about the care or welfare of a child or young person,

please immediately advise the Head Teacher.
