The school complies with all guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education and all staff receive annual safeguarding training.

At Sompting Village Primary School we proactively work with other safeguarding agencies. These include West Sussex Children’s Services, Early Help, Police, NHS medical teams, NSPCC, Thought-Full as well as others.
