Safeguarding

All staff at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School are committed to safeguarding pupils and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all visitors and volunteers to share this commitment.

Mrs Day is responsible for Child Protection within the school. It is her duty and responsibility to pass on to outside agencies any concerns that a pupil is being harmed or may be at risk of being harmed. This may result in a referral to Children and Young People’s Services. (CYPS)

The Deputy Designated Officer is Mrs Pascoe

In Mrs Day's and Mrs Pascoe's absence on site, Mrs Soby will act as a Designated Officer.

In all matters, the school Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy informs practice throughout the school.
