Child Protection and Safeguarding

Child protection forms part of the school’s safeguarding responsibilities.

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

Catherine Johnson (Headteacher)

Lisa Tansley (Deputy Headteacher)

Katy Whitford (Home School Link Worker & ELSA)

Gemma Denyer (Breakfast Club Supervisor & Teaching Assistant)

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy can be viewed here.   Parents and carers can request a paper copy from the school office.
