Safeguarding

Benington Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. At Benington Primary School, it remains the responsibility of the whole school community to safeguard our children. Please come and speak to us if you have any concerns about a child in the school.

How We Keep Children Safe – Using CPOMS
At Benington Primary School, we use CPOMS, a secure online system that helps staff record and monitor any safeguarding or wellbeing concerns. This allows us to spot patterns early, act quickly, and make sure pupils get the right support at the right time.
Only trained staff with individual logins can access CPOMS, ensuring information is kept safe, confidential, and in line with GDPR.
