SAFEGUARDING

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility

Greenfields Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all
pupils. We work with children, families and relevant agencies to ensure children receive the right
help at the right time.
KCSIE 2026 specifically reinforces both principles: safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and
children should receive the right help at the right time.

RIGHT HELP, RIGHT TIME

Greenfields Primary School follows Birmingham’s Right Help, Right Time framework when considering the level of support a child or family may require.

Early Help is the wider principle of providing support as soon as needs or difficulties begin to emerge.

Where needs are more significant or multiple services may need to work together, more targeted and coordinated Family Help may be appropriate.

The DSL/DDSL considers the appropriate level of support and, where necessary, liaises with relevant external services.

STATUTORY SAFEGUARDING GUIDANCE

Our safeguarding arrangements are informed by the following national statutory guidance.
