Safeguarding Our Children at Warden Hill Junior School
At Warden Hill Junior School, the safety and well-being of our children is our top priority. We believe that safeguarding is a shared responsibility, and everyone in our school community plays a vital role.
Our Commitment to Safeguarding
- Duty of Care: We take our legal duty to protect children seriously and work collaboratively with social care professionals in child protection enquiries.
- Open Communication: We are committed to transparent communication. If we refer a concern to another agency, we will inform parents or carers unless doing so could put the child at risk.
- Clear Policies: We have a robust Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy in place. You can download it below or request a copy from the school office.
Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy
Keeping Children Safe Together
We believe that Safeguarding is Everybody's Responsibility. Staff members are trained to identify and report any concerns, and we create a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable speaking up.
National Guidance

Operation Encompass
We are proud to participate in Operation Encompass, a joint initiative between Luton Council, Bedfordshire Police, and our school. This scheme ensures that children are supported following domestic abuse incidents at home.
'By working together, we can create a safe and nurturing environment where all children can thrive.'
