Polasaí maidir le Caomhnú Páistí Scoil Santain 2016
Scoil Santain Child Protection Policy 2016

Polasaí maidir le Caomhnú Páistí Scoil Santain 2016

Glacann an Bord Bainistíochta leis go bhfuil fíorthábhacht le caomhnú leanaí agus leas leanaí maidir le gach gné de shaol na scoile agus nach mór sin a bheith le sonrú ar pholasaithe, modhanna oibre agus beartaíocht uile na scoile. Dá réir sin, ag teacht lena n-éilítear faoi 'Nósanna Imeachta maidir le Caomhnú Leanaí i mBunscoileanna agus i Scoileanna Iarbhunscoile' na Roinne Oideachais agus Scileanna, tá an polasaí seo a leanas maidir le caomhnú leanaí aontaithe ag Bord Bainistíochta Scoil Santain:

1. Tá glactha ag an mBord Bainistíochta le 'Nósanna Imeachta maidir le Caomhnú Leanaí i mBunscoileanna agus i Scoileanna Iarbhunscoile' na Roinne agus déanfar a gcur i bhfeidhm go hiomlán, gan athrú gan leasú, mar chuid den pholasaí ginearálta maidir le caomhnú leanaí.

2. An Duine Idirchaidrimh Ainmnithe (DIA): Éamon Ó Deagha (Príomhoide) .

3. An Leas-Dhuine Idirchaidrimh Ainmnithe (Leas-DIA): Róisín Ní Chearúil (Príomhoide Ionaid).

4. I ndáil le polasaithe, modhanna oibre agus beartaíocht de chuid Scoil Santain, cloífear leis na prionsabail seo a leanas den dea-chleachtas maidir le caomhnú leanaí agus leas leanaí:
Déanfaidh an scoil

glacadh leis go bhfuil fíorthábhacht le caomhnú leanaí agus leas leanaí, gan bheann ar aon cheist eile;
comhoibriú go hiomlán leis na húdaráis chuí faoin reachtaíocht maidir le caomhnú leanaí agus cúrsaí leasa leanaí
gnásanna sábháilte a ghlacadh chuici féin d'fhonn an dóigh go dtarlódh dochar nó tionóisc do leanbh a mhaolú oiread agus is féidir agus an lucht oibre a chosaint ó chall dul i mbaol nach gá a bhféadfadh gurb é toradh a bheadh air go gcuirfí drochúsáid nó faillí ina leith;
gnás ionracais a thabhairt chun cinn le tuismitheoirí agus iad a spreagadh a bheith rannpháirteach in oideachas a gcuid leanaí; agus
meas iomlán a léiriú ar riachtanais rúndachta agus í ag déileáil le cúrsaí caomhnaithe leanaí

            Cloífidh an scoil leis na prionsabail thuas freisin i ndáil le haon dalta fásta lena mbaineann soghontacht             speisialta.

5. Ba cheart an chuid seo den pholasaí maidir le caomhnú leanaí a úsáid chun tagairt go sonrach do pholasaithe, do chleachtais agus do ghníomhaíochtaí de chuid na scoile a meastar go mbaineann siad go mór le caomhnú leanaí (e.g. an Cód Iompair agus Araíonachta/an Polasaí Frith-Mhaistínteachta, an Polasaí Tinrimh Daltaí, Maoirseacht ar Dhaltaí, Gníomhaíochtaí Spóirt/Turais Scoile.)

            Tá sé cinntithe ag an mBord go bhfuil na polasaithe, prótacail nó cleachtais, de réir mar is cuí, curtha i             bhfeidhm i ndáil le gach ceann de na rudaí thuasluaite.

6. Cuireadh an polasaí seo ar fáil d'fhoireann na scoile agus do Chumann na dTuismitheoirí agus tá sé ar fáil go héasca ag tuismitheoirí ach a iarraidh. Cuirfear cóip den pholasaí seo ar fáil don Roinn agus don phátrún sa chás go n-iarrtar é.

7. Déanfaidh an Bord Bainistíochta an polasaí seo a thabhairt faoi athbhreithniú uair in aghaidh na scoilbhliana.

Rinne an Bord Bainistíochta athbhreithniú an bpolasaí seo ar an 05/09/2016 .

Aguisín 2: Liosta Seiceála don Athbhreithniú ar an bPolasaí maidir le Caomhnú Leanaí
Ní mór don Bhord Bainistíochta, uair in aghaidh na scoilbhliana, tabhairt faoi athbhreithniú ar an bpolasaí maidir le caomhnú leanaí agus an liosta seiceála seo a leanas a úsáid chun na críche sin.

Tá an liosta seiceála leagtha amach mar dheis cúnta le linn athbhreithniú a dhéanamh agus níl i gceist gur liosta ollchuimsitheach atá ann. D'fhéadfadh gur mhian le Bord Bainistíochta faoi leith nithe éagsúla eile a bhfuil tábhacht faoi leith leo maidir leis an scoil áirithe sin a chur lena bhfuil ar an liosta seiceála seo.

Mar chuid de phróiseas iomlán an athbhreithnithe, ba cheart don Bhord Bainistíochta chomh maith polasaithe, gnáis oibre agus gníomhaíochtaí eile de chuid na scoile a mheas i ndáil lena gcloí le prionsabail an dea-chleachtais maidir le caomhnú leanaí agus leas leanaí mar atá leagtha amach i bpolasaí na scoile maidir le caomhnú leanaí.

Child Protection Policy of Scoil Santain 2016

The Board of Management recognises that child protection and welfare considerations permeate all aspects of school life and must be reflected in all of the school’s policies, practices and activities. Accordingly, in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Education and Skills’ Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools, the Board of Management of Scoil Santain has agreed the following child protection policy:

1.         The Board of Management has adopted and will implement fully and without modification the Department’s             Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools as part of this overall child protection             policy.

2.         The Designated Liaison Person (DLP) is Éamon Ó Deagha ( Príomhoide )



3.         The Deputy Designated Liaison Person (Deputy DLP) is Róisín Ní Chearúil (Príomhoide
                                                                                                                                                            Ionaid)

4.         In its policies, practices and activities, Scoil Santain will adhere to the following principles of best practice in child protection and welfare:
            The school will

recognise that the protection and welfare of children is of paramount importance, regardless of all other considerations;
fully co-operate with the relevant statutory authorities in relation to child protection and welfare matters
adopt safe practices to minimise the possibility of harm or accidents happening to children and protect workers from the necessity to take unnecessary risks that may leave themselves open to accusations of abuse or neglect;
develop a practice of openness with parents and encourage parental involvement in the education of their children; and
fully respect confidentiality requirements in dealing with child protection matters.

      The school will also adhere to the above principles in relation to any adult pupil with a special vulnerability.

5.         This section of the child protection policy should be used to list school policies, practices and activities that       are particularly relevant to child protection (e.g. the Code of Behaviour/Anti-bullying Policy, Pupil       Attendance Strategy, Supervision of Pupils, Sporting Activities/School Outings.)

            The Board has ensured that the necessary policies, protocols or practices as appropriate are in place in respect             of each of the above listed items.

6.         This policy has been made available to school personnel and the Parents’ Association and is readily       accessible to parents on request. A copy of this policy will be made available to the Department and the patron       if requested.

7.   This policy will be reviewed by the Board of Management once in every school year.

This policy was reviewed by the Board of Management on 05/09/2016

Cinntíonn foireann na scoile go bhfuil timpeallacht dearfach, shlán, fháilteach sa scoil do na páistí.
Bronntar teastais agus/nó duaiseanna ar pháistí nár chaill aon lá ag deireadh gach téarma.Tá córas réalta le fáinní seachtrach i bhfeidhm sna seomraí ranga. Tá sé ag feidhmú mar áis amharc.
Bronntar teastas ón BLO mar chuid de Roinn Leanaí agus Gnóthaí Óige.ar na páistí a chaill níos lú ná 3 lá scoile sa scoilbhlian ag deireadh na bliana.
Tá ainmneacha na bpáistí le tinreamh foirfe scríofa ar realtaí órga ar thaispeaint sa halla mar aitheanntas don iarracht ata déanta acu agus mar spreagadh do na daltaí eile.
Aithnítear agus moltar poncúlacht mhaith agus feabhas ar phoncúlacht/thinreamh.
Tá féilire poncúlachta inranga míosúil le líonadh ag na múinteoirí, le meas, sna seomraí ranga.
Má tá an páiste déanach faigheann sé/sí mharc. Má tá 3 mharc aige / aici in aon mhí amháin téann litir faoi leith abhaile.
Má tá 5 mharc acu téann an Ch.CBSP i dteagmhail leis an chlann chun fiosrúchain a dhéanamh agus tacaíocht a thabhairt más gá.
Le gach mí tosnaíonn an bhFéilire Poncúlachta as an nua le béim dearfach a choinnéail ar an bponcúlacht.
Bíonn foireann na scoile ag faire amach do bhulaíocht, míbhuntáistí eacnamaíochta nó eile a d’fhéadfadh tionchar a imirt ar thinrimh pháiste ar scoil agus déanfar idirghabháil le tacaíocht an ChCBSP agus an bPríomhoide.

Among the strategies in use in the school to promote good attendance are:

The school staff ensures that there is a positive, safe and welcoming environment at the school
Certificates and/or prizes are awarded at the end of each term to children who did not miss any days. There is a star system with outer rings in operation to serve as a visual reminder in each classroom.
A certificate of attendance , issued by the EWB of the Child and Family Agency is awarded to all those who have missed three days or less on the last day of the school year.
The names of all the children with full attendance are displayed on gold stars for the following year as a reminder of their achievement and as encouragement to others.
Punctuality is recognised and praised, as is an improvement in punctuality/attendance.
There is an in class system where punctuality calendars are completed by the class teachers in a respectful way .
If a child is late three times in any one calendar month a dedicated note will go home to the parent(s)/ Guardian(s)..
