Safeguarding Children

Ask yourself:

• Do you know Westleigh St. Paul’s Safeguarding and Child Protection systems?
• Do you know the signs of abuse and neglect?
• Do you maintain an attitude of ‘it could happen here’?

If you answered NO to any of these questions, please see Mrs Hankinson or Mrs Crowther (Safeguarding Leads)

If a child discloses any information of maltreatment, neglect or abuse, inform Mrs Hankinson or Mrs Crowther immediately, who will then call Social Services ‘Assessment and Referral’.
All staff are free to call ‘Assessment and Referral’ themselves should they have any concerns about a child.
The contact numbers are:
01942 828300 and/or 01942 828320
