In accordance with GDPR guidelines, we will ensure that any permissible and necessary information is shared effectively and sensitively. Information will only be shared with other services where it is deemed proportionate to ensure that children and young people are safe and receive the right service.
Schools will seek advice from outside agencies when they have reasonable cause to suspect a child may be suffering or likely to suffer significant harm. Occasionally, concerns are passed on which are later shown to be unfounded. Parents/carers will appreciate that the designated person for child protection was carrying out their responsibilities in accordance with the law and acting in the best interests of all children.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) in school is Tom Powell and the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Kirsty Wakefield.
