Safeguarding Policy

Safeguarding Policy

1) All LVSG teachers and staff sincerely and conscientiously put the interests of the children first and foremost, and actively make it our business to create an open, friendly, and structured learning environment.

2) All LVSG parents are required to be present at classes, and understand that they have full responsibility for their own children at all times.

3) A member of LVSG staff takes an attendance register of everyone who enters the building during the period of hire.

4) There is a First Aid kit in the reception area of Harris Academy St John’s Wood. Ray Akikur is our designated member of the SchoolsPlus site team, and is trained in First Aid. Guillem Calvo, Assistant Director of the Little Venice Suzuki Group is also trained in First Aid.

5) Where applicable, the LVSG will adhere to the Harris Academy St John’s Wood Child Protection Policy.

6) In the event of a serious concern, a member of LVSG staff will contact Aqualma Daniel (Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster LADO) or another person in her department. Tel : 07870 481712 Email Aqualma.Daniel@rbkc.gov.uk
In an emergency a LVSG staff member will contact the emergency services on 999.

7) In the event of a fire or other emergency, I have been informed that we must all gather next to the basketball courts at Harris Academy St John’s Wood. In such an event, the LVSG would of course cooperate fully with the Harris Academy on-site staff member, as well as the emergency services where appropriate.
