Holy Cross Catholic Primary School wants to work with children, parents/carers and the community to ensure the safety of children at all times. We know that it can difficult to speak to somebody when things are not going well at home, or there are worries or concerns, but please do be assured that we are here to help and support in any way we can without judgement.

Safeguarding is the responsibility of all and therefore all staff know the policies and procedures related to safeguarding. Our prime concern is always the well-being of our pupils and if we act, it is to protect the individual. Every school is required to have a safeguarding team.

Holy Cross Catholic Primary School Safeguarding Team

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Mrs Tara Moran (Deputy Headteacher).

Our Deputy DSL's are: Mrs Sam Dowdeswell, Mrs Elaine O'Neill, Mrs Georgie McDowall, Mr James Green, Mrs Jayne Rutherford and Mrs Maria Silva.

We wish to work with parents and carers to ensure the best possible care for children, but this may occasionally require situations where we have a cause for concern to be referred to Social Care. In these cases, parents/carers will always be informed unless it has been considered that the child may be put at further risk.

All policies related to safeguarding can be found on our policies page
