Safeguarding children and protecting them from harm is everyone's responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play. Fairview Community Primary School takes this role extremely seriously and our approach to safeguarding is always putting the needs of each individual child at the centre of what we do; working closely with other agencies to provide effective support; and providing staff with regular and up-to-date safeguarding training.

Karin Tillett (Head Teacher) is the school's Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).

Chris Woods (Chair of Governors) is our Safeguarding Governor.
