The health and safety of all children is of paramount importance at Swinford Church of England Primary School.

In order to do this, a wide range of measures and policies are put in place. These are reviewed every year and are available:

• Administration of medicines
• Anti-bullying
• Behaviour
• Child Protection
• Health and Safety
• The Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) are Mr O’Connor and Mrs Chamberlain. Our Deputy DSL is Mrs Carey.
