Safeguarding and Volunteers in School
Once all your checks, references and training is in place, you will be able to volunteer in school on a yellow lanyard. This is recognised by our children as a "safe" visitor who has full checks in place and does not need to be escorted by staff during the school day.
Without full checks in place there are some activities you are still welcome to volunteer for e.g. Forest School and some Sports and School Events. This is because you will be accompanied by school staff during these actitivies. On these occasions you will be asked to wear a red lanyard whilst on site, which indicates to the children that these visitors should be accompanied in School.
If you have any questions about the Volunteer Registration process, please contact the School Office via email.
