If you have a concern or a member of staff has a concern it can be reported confidentially to either of the designated people.  All staff have a valid DBS certificate, recorded on our Single Central Register, which is kept in the office.  All Governors also all have valid DBS certificates.

The School Policy for Safeguarding is updated in line with Local Authority Guidance and Regulations.  Our policy and procedures for safeguarding are also reviewed and approved by Governors on an annual basis.
