Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility.  If at any point there is a risk of immediate, serious harm to a child, a referral should be made to Children’s Social Care and/or the police straight away.  Anybody can make the referral: Call Ashtree 01332 641172.

If you have ANY concerns about a child please speak immediately to: Mrs Foster - Head Teacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead or to Mrs Johnson, our Deputy Head and Deputy Safeguarding Lead. You can also contact one of our Inclusion Officers: Mrs Hazell, Mrs Holness, Mr Rehman or Miss Scott.

CHILD PROTECTION: Parents should be aware that the School will take any reasonable action to ensure the safety of its pupils. In cases where the School has reason to be concerned that a child may be subject to ill treatment, neglect or other forms of abuse, staff have no alternative but to follow the Derby City Child Protection Procedures and inform Social Services of their concern.

RACIST INCIDENTS: Racism in any form is not tolerated in School. All incidents are recorded and sent to the L.A. for collation.
