Keeping your children safe is our highest priority here at Chaddlewood Primary School. The health, safety and well-being of every child is at the forefront of everything we do.

Each school has a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).  Currently, in Mrs King's absence, our DSL is our Acting Headteacher, Joe Hardman. We have three Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSL). They are the our SENDco (Steph Ash), our Pastoral Support Advisor (Carol Jones) and our Phase 1 Lead (Kelly Leach). All are specially trained in Child Protection procedures.  Our 'WeST' Director of Safeguarding is Mr Richard Woodland.

All staff receive annual safeguarding training enhanced with regular updates throughout the year. We follow clear safeguarding policies and practices and all staff are required to adhere to the Safeguarding Code of Conduct. The code is designed to give clear guidance on the standards of behaviour all school staff are expected to observe at all times. We follow Safer Recruitment Guidelines when appointing new staff and volunteers.

Below are the contact details of our safeguarding team.

The DSL (Joe Hardman) is available during non-working hours and holidays, so if you have a concern please email him at the email address below.
