Mrs Rebecca Gordon – Designated Safeguarding Lead

Miss Emma Clifton and Mrs Jayne Woodward – Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSLs)

Children have a right to be cared for and protected, protecting them is everyone’s responsibility. Here at Webheath Academy Primary School we have a duty of care to ensure that all users of the school are kept safe from harm. We are committed to provide a secure and supportive environment in which children can develop and grow into mature and responsible people. Safeguarding children is an essential part of our holistic approach to ensure that children are protected from abuse and neglect and that every child reaches their full potential.

The best interests of the children will always be our priority. As such, there are times we will need to record, monitor and share information with other agencies. We will share concerns about our pupils with the child’s parents/carers unless we have reason to believe that such a move would not be in the child’s best interest.
