Child Protection and Safeguarding

At Trinity Oaks C of E Primary School we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued.

All staff (including supply staff, volunteers and governors) receive child protection training/information so that they are alerted to the signs of abuse and neglect.

They have a crucial role in referring concerns and follow our policy and procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.

Our Designated Safeguarding Leads are:

Elizabeth Woods (Headteacher)

Marnie Fisher (Deputy Headteacher)

Katy Whitford (Home School Link Worker & ELSA)

Gemma Denyer (Breakfast Club Supervisor, ELSA & Teaching Assistant)
