Safeguarding
Safeguarding is everybody's responsibility
Sometimes we need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our children are discussed with their parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that this would be contrary to their welfare.
All concerns must be raised with the Designated Safeguarding Lead (Mrs Whittingham) or the Deputy Safeguarding Lead (Mrs Khan) in the first instance, but remember, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and ANYONE can make a referral.
