Clarendon Federation fully recognises its responsibility for safeguarding and child protection. As such we provide regular training and guidance for all adults working in the school (this includes staff, governors, volunteers and visitors). This identifies acceptable and desirable conduct to protect both pupils and adults. We also operate recruitment procedures which are fully compliant with safer recruitment guidance.
Our Safeguarding Team
Keeping children safe is our highest priority: all adults in school, both staff and volunteers, need to undergo Enhance Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks if they work with children. We have very clear safeguarding procedures for staff and visitors and staff have regular Child Protection training.
If you need to contact a DSL please call the Infant School on 01980 843381 or the Junior School on 01980 607007.

Operation Encompass
In the event of any of our pupils experiencing or witnessing domestic violence or abuse, Clarendon Federation receives information from Wiltshire Police.
This information is shared as part of Wiltshire Police’s ‘Operation Encompass’ programme, aiming to ensure schools can offer support to these pupils when needed. Wiltshire Police aim to share this information with us before the next school day, following a domestic incident, so that we can be ready to support the pupil on their arrival to school. Wiltshire Police also confirm with school whether or not the pupil is aware of the incident, so that decisions can be made around whether or not explicit or more discreet support can be offered.
If you are concerned for a child
If they are in immediate danger/risk of harm call the police on 999.
Any adult can make a referral to Social Services via Wiltshire’s Multi agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 0300 456 0108 (5:30pm-9:00am 0845 6070 888)
