Safeguarding and the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. At Kinoulton Primary School we take our responsibilities in this area very seriously and have robust systems and procedures in place to ensure that our children are safe, happy and well looked after.
Simon Paramore is the Designated Safeguarding lead (DSL) and Designated Teacher for Looked After Children
Abi Huntingford and Sarah Barker are the deputy DSLs.
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 in our Single Central Register, which is kept in the office.
Should a child disclose anything that causes you to have a concern about their welfare please report it immediately to any teacher or designated person.
Do not engage the child in discussion on this issue yourself.
The School Policy for Child Protection 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.
