Safeguarding - Chaucer School

Meet the Safeguarding Team.

We all have a statutory duty to “Safeguard and Promote the Welfare of Children”

If you have any concerns about the health, safety and wellbeing of a child at this school or feel that something may be troubling them, you should share this information with an appropriate member of staff as soon as possible.

Please do not worry that you are reporting small matters: we would rather you tell us things which turn out to be nothing rather than miss a worrying situation. Some issues such as a child’s appearance, hygiene and general behaviour can be shared with any teacher or member of support staff in school.

If you think a matter is a very serious and may be related to a Safeguarding/Child Protection concern e.g. sexual, emotional abuse or neglect you must talk to the people below immediately.

If you are unable to contact them you can ask the school office staff to find them and ask them to speak to you straight away about an urgent matter.
