Statement to Parents 

At Willow Green Academy, the welfare of all our pupils is of great importance to us and we hope that parents are confident about their children’s health and safety whilst in our school. We will always try to share any concerns we have with parents.  However, there are times when we are legally obliged to share our concerns with other agencies, without first speaking to parents, or without the consent of parents. 

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is: Miss Walker. In her absence please speak to a member of the Child Protection team.

Our Designated Child Protection team includes

Mr Parkinson – Head of Academy

Ms Rhodes – Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (Attendance officer / Pastoral team)

Mrs Iveson– Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (Pastoral team)

Children’s Safeguarding Policy

KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE AND HAPPY

What is Safeguarding?
KEEPING YOU SAFE AND PROTECTING YOU FROM HARM

All of the adults at Willow Green Academy know that your health, safety and welfare are very important.
We want to make sure you know who to talk to if you have any worries
We will respect you and protect your rights
We will do our very best to help you ‘reach for the stars’
We want to make sure you know how to keep yourself and others safe by recognising risks in different situations

How we will protect you?
WE LISTEN TO YOU AND ACT ON YOUR WORRIES

We make our school a safe place to learn
It is important we teach you how and where to get help
We make sure we have trained staff who are here to help you

What should children do?
TALK AND SHARE THEIR WORRIES
If you are worried about anything, either at home or in school you can tell any adult in school. They may or may not need to speak to Mr Parkinson or Miss Walker
You can also talk to other trusted adults for example your parents/ carers the police, NSPCC, Social Worker etc

IF YOU ARE WORRIED ALWAYS SPEAK TO SOMEONE YOU TRUST,
WE NEVER WANT YOU TO KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF
