SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN
Your child’s welfare is of paramount importance to us. It is our statutory duty of care to safeguard your child. We will also seek external support if we have any concerns about your child and, in some instances, this may mean that we consult with other agencies even before we contact you.
The procedures we follow have been laid down by the Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board. If you want to know more about this procedure, please speak to the Headteacher, a member of SLT or a DSL.
At St Mary’s, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff, governors, parents, volunteers and visitors to share in this commitment.
The Lead DSL is Mrs Noone.
The Deputy DSL is Mrs Yorke, the Headteacher.
The DSL team consists of Mrs Noone and Mrs Yorke, Mrs Jones, Mrs Richards, Mrs Tame, Miss Preedy and Mrs Birchenall.
You may approach any of these staff members if you have a concern about any safeguarding issue.
Safeguarding issues can also be raised by emailing DSL@stmaryrc.bham.sch.uk
The Safeguarding Link governor is Mary Higgins.
