Safeguarding
At The Oratory, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This means that we have specific procedures and policies (see below) in place. All staff (including supply staff, volunteers and governors) must ensure that they are aware of these procedures too. If you have a safeguarding concern, please speak to a DSL or contact the school on enquiry@oratory.bham.sch.uk.
In an emergency, you should always call 999 or for urgent matters the Children's Advice and Support Service (CASS) provides a single point of contact for professionals and members of the public who want to access support or raise concerns about a child.

The Safeguarding Team
Operation Encompass
The Oratory RC Primary and Nursery School is part of West Midlands' Police Operation Encompass. This is the early reporting to school when a child has been exposed to domestic violence or domestic abuse. School can then monitor the child and provide support if necessary.
If you are a victim of domestic abuse or domestic violence or know someone who is, school can provide a wide range of support. If you need further support please contact us.

Online Safety
At The Oratory RC Primary and Nursery School, we believe that staying safe online is just as important as staying safe in the real world. The internet is a fantastic place to learn, explore, and have fun, but it’s important to use it wisely. We teach our pupils how to make smart choices online, protect their personal information, and know what to do if something doesn’t feel right. By working together—pupils, teachers, and parents—we can create a safe and positive online experience for everyone!
