Overdale Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of your child/ren and we hope that this ‘Keeping Safe’ section of the website has helped support you in having access to various resources too.
There are a variety of documents and resources developed by the NSPCC (and other well-known organisations) that you may wish to take the time to read. We have attached a range below.
Please note the documents in this section are parent/carer focussed and are not always suitable for working through with your child/ren due to the language used. Please see the Info for children section for those.
Should you have any concerns, and/or wish to discuss any of these subjects further, please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher or Mrs Hart directly.
