At Whittonstall we work to two key phrases around safeguarding:

We have many procedures and rules in place to safeguard our school community which are embedded in our everyday practices and through our policies. Below is our child friendly version of our standard policy (the full version can be found in the policies section of the website) which we use to help the children in our school stay safe and let them know how we keep them safe.

The child friendly version has been shared with the children in our school and is visible in every classroom, it is placed alongside photographs of our key Designated Safeguarding Leads in school.

We are always looking for ways to ensure safeguarding is at the forefront of what we do and have a yearly Safeguarding plan in place that is carefully planned from the latest National updates, contextualised local updates and from our staff training needs.

If you have any queries or concerns please get in touch with any of the safeguarding lead team below.
