Priorswood Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our pupils and expects all adults working in school, staff and volunteers, to share this commitment. For detailed information please see our Child Protection Policy (see link below).
Sometimes we may need to share information and work with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We ensure concerns are discussed with parents/carers first unless there is reason to believe this would be contrary to a child’s welfare.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Suzanne King.
Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSL) are Carly Ellis, Lucy Davis and Sarah Fitzsimmons.
The Cabot Learning Federation Safeguarding Lead is Steve Bane.
If you have a concern about a child, you may consult the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead or deputy who will be able to look into the matter and decide if action is required to ensure the child’s safety and wellbeing. Either can be contacted by phone 01823 284897 or email [email protected]
If you believe a child may be at immediate risk of harm, you may make a referral to Somerset Children’s Social Care on 0300 123 2224.
Statutory guidance from the Department of Education set out what schools must do to comply with the law.
Our Safeguarding policy has been written in response to the current version of Keeping Children Safe in Education. Our policy is reviewed annually, however we are continually reviewing our procedures in light of any new guidance and local issues that arise.
