Safeguarding
Long Crendon School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We actively support the Government’s Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy, which can be viewed in the policies section of our website.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with their parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare.
If you are concerned for the safety of a child in the school, please contact us on safeguarding@longcrendon.bucks.sch.uk or 01844 208225 and ask to speak to a DSL.
Alternatively, you can speak directly to First Response on 01296 383962.

E-Safety
Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help with your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.
Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Tips for staying safe online:
- Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
- Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
Parents concerned about the safety of their children when using the internet can access a wide range of guidance from the CEOP website:
