Our children’s safety and well-being is a key priority at Toner Avenue. All children deserve to feel safe and secure in school. All staff (both teaching and non-teaching) receive regular Safeguarding Training to ensure they are fully aware of current guidance and best practice. Training is provided by the South Tyneside’s Local Safeguarding Children’s Board (LSCB) and by Designated Persons (Mrs Nichola Fullard – Head Teacher, Mrs Kate McKenna – Deputy Head Teacher, Mrs Emma Innerd – Child and Family Manager, and Mrs G Hughes – EYFS Lead).
Members of the Governing Body also receive regular ‘Safer Recruitment’ training to ensure the selection process to recruit new members of staff includes important safeguarding checks. Our safeguarding Link Governor is Mrs Jackie Glass.
