Dear Parents / Carers,

We take the welfare of all the children in our school very seriously.  We have a duty of care for our children and I know that you would expect us to act on any concerns we have regarding your child’s welfare.

Part of our mission, as a Catholic School, is to promote a caring, safe and positive environment.  Through our PSHE and EPR curriculum we help children to develop an awareness of how to keep themselves safe, adopt a healthy lifestyle and how to establish positive relationships particularly in regard to approaching adults if they are in difficulties.

As part of our responsibility to safeguard children we are required to have a Child Protection Procedures which parents can access by clicking here and Safeguarding Policy, which parents can access by clicking here.

We will always undertake to discuss our concerns about a child, whether they come from a disclosure or observations, and share our intention to refer a child to social services with their parents /carers unless to do so could put the child at greater risk of harm, or impede a criminal investigation.

The Designated Senior member of the leadership team for Child Protection is Mrs Delia Doyle, Headteacher.  Mrs Natalie Holden is the second nominated member.
