At Llangiwg Primary School, we maintain robust child protection procedures founded on a clear policy to ensure the safety and well-being of our pupils.

All staff members are trained in our safeguarding practices and undergo child protection awareness training as per the guidelines set forth by the Local Authority. We take our responsibilities in this area very seriously and focus on:

• Preventing children from being neglected or abused

Thank you for your understanding and commitment to helping us maintain a safe learning environment for all.
