Safeguarding – Dickleburgh C of E Primary Academy

At Dickleburgh C of E Primary Academy we take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. We are committed to the highest levels of well-being for our pupils and staff and have rigorous and robust systems in place. We expect all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.

Our objectives are to:

Provide a safe environment for all of our pupils to learn

Identify children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm and take appropriate action, with the aim of making sure that they are kept safe both at home and in the education setting.

We will aim to do this by:

Aiming to prevent unsuitable people from working with the children

Promoting safe practice and challenge any poor or unsafe practice

Identify instances where there are grounds for concern about a child’s welfare and initiate or take appropriate action to keep them safe

Contribute to effective partnership working between all those involved in providing services for our children

Our designated safeguarding lead professional is Mrs Moira Croskell and the alternate safeguarding leads are Mrs Pippa Delaine, Mr Alec Sanders and Miss Natalie Lewis. Mrs Sue Brown is the alternate safeguarding lead for our Pre-School setting. The member of the governing body responsible for safeguarding is Mr Ian Clayton.
