Welcome from our Designated Safeguarding Leads
We strive to create an environment in which children feel safe, secure and respected.
We encourage them to talk openly about anything that worries them; and help them feel confident that they will be listened to. Adults in our school take all welfare concerns seriously, are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect, and trained to follow our robust procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.
Below are links to resources where you can anonymously report concerns and find further support.
Report a safeguarding concern
If you have a concern that a child or children are being harmed, at risk of harm, or you receive a disclosure (intentionally or unintentionally) you must report it immediately to one of our designated safeguarding leads by:
Contacting our school office and asking to speak to a member of the safeguarding team or email safeguarding@arkconwayprimary.org
