Safeguarding
Safeguarding & Child Protection at Our Lady & St Peter VC Academy
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who meets children, their families and carers have a role to play in safeguarding children
If you have any concerns about the health, safety, wellbeing of a child at the school, or feel that something may be troubling them, you should share this information with one of our Safeguarding Team.
This may be done verbally in the first instance but always be followed up by completing a cause for concern form, available from the Designated Safeguarding Team.
Our Safeguarding leads are:
- Charlotte Backhouse Designated Safeguarding Lead
- Stella Clarke Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
- Andy Dixon Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
- Angela Spencer Executive Headteacher and Trust Safeguarding Lead
The Trust Director with responsibility for Safeguarding is:
- James Sargeant
