The school is in Wales, at postcode CF24 3RR. Its grid reference is easting 319006, northing 177801, which is latitude 51.4933 and longitude -3.1681. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the routes to the nearest transport and shops, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.
Albany Primary School sits in the Cardiff local authority area, which has 144 open establishments in the register. The local authority is the body that publishes the local safeguarding partnership arrangements, the threshold document and the early help offer that a school's child protection policy refers to, so the same authority context applies to every school in Cardiff.

What the report for Albany Primary School contains
An annual report, written for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, that reads the public record for the environment around this school and says what it means in the language of Keeping Children Safe in Education and contextual safeguarding. Each chapter is mapped to the policy paragraph, the governors' annual report or the inspection question it evidences. The recorded picture at the gate comes from UK Crime Statistics, our sister service; the rest is evidence a crime map does not carry.
- The recorded picture at the gate. Police-recorded incidents within a short walk, from UK Crime Statistics, described as the streets a child crosses rather than as a score, and turned into the context paragraph the policy asks for.
- Exploitation indicators. The public signals of criminal and sexual exploitation in the area, and what a DSL can and cannot read into them.
- Places and routes where risk sits. Parks, shops, transport stops and underpasses on the way in, drawn from the data rather than from reputation.
- Road danger at the gate. Collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists on the surrounding roads, with what a School Street request needs.
- Air quality and catchment deprivation. The neighbourhood statistics that shape the context, printed with their limits.
- Policy paragraph, governor paragraph and inspector questions. Ready to paste, answered from the findings above.
