Safeguarding

At Robert Clack we are committed to safeguarding our children and young people to ensure they are happy, healthy and safe. A team of four colleagues work in the safeguarding team to meet this responsibility. Anyone who has a safeguarding concern regarding a student at the school should contact the ‘Designated Safeguarding Lead’ or another member of the team by phoning the main school number and asking for:

Mr Course

Mrs Schofield

Mrs Taylor

Miss Elliot

The school has a number of policies and procedures in place to ensure that these responsibilities are met, this includes the safeguarding policy (add link here)

All staff regularly receive training and updates around safeguarding policy, practice and current issues. This allows us to make sure we meet our responsibility to ensure that children are happy and safe. To support this, children are encouraged to report any concerns through our pastoral systems. We use assemblies and various elements of the curriculum to make children aware of various issues related to safeguarding.

The school works with various external agencies in accordance with ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’. We share information as appropriate to ensure that we do all we can to support children where safeguarding issues as they arise.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, should you have any concerns please report them as soon as possible.

In the first instance please direct any safeguarding queries to our safeguarding lead John Course jcourse@robertclack.co.uk
