Safeguarding Curriculum
​
At Hunslet Carr, safeguarding is central to our commitment to ensuring that all children are safe, supported, and able to thrive. A key aspect of this is equipping children with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to safeguard themselves.

Our Approach

Safeguarding education is embedded across school life and is delivered through our curriculum and wider provision.

A central element of this is our school-wide CREW programme, which focuses on promoting children’s emotional wellbeing. Through daily CREW sessions, including weekly ‘Wise Wednesday’ sessions, children explore a wide range of safeguarding themes in a structured and age-appropriate way.

Safeguarding themes are revisited regularly to ensure that learning is progressive, age-appropriate, and securely embedded over time.

What children learn

Throughout the year, children develop their understanding of key safeguarding topics, including:

  • Keeping safe and managing risk
  • The NSPCC PANTS rule
  • Emotional wellbeing and Zones of Regulation
  • Online safety
  • Identity and society
  • Speaking out and seeking help
  • Drugs and alcohol education
  • Physical health and wellbeing
  • Financial education
  • Life changes and transitions
  • Understanding and managing strong emotions

Enrichment and Partnerships

Our safeguarding curriculum is enhanced through a range of external partnerships and experiences. These include:

  • Workshops and sessions delivered by organisations such as On the Verge

  • NSPCC programmes, including in-school safeguarding sessions

  • Visits from the Road Safety Team and Canal and River Trust

  • Engagement with local policing teams to reinforce community safety

These experiences provide children with real-world context and reinforce key safeguarding messages.
