Staff at St.Leonard’s School and Nursery believe that a child or young person should never experience abuse of any kind. We have a responsibility to promote the welfare and wellbeing of all children and young people and to keep them safe.
The safety and wellbeing of our children and young people is paramount. All children and young people have the right to be protected from all forms of harm and abuse.
At all times we keep the child’s best interests at the centre of any required actions or planning, and in almost all cases liaise closely with family.
Staff know to alert the Child Protection Coordinator in the school immediately should they have a Child Protection Concern.
Child Protection Coordinator – Mrs Kirsty Muir (Headteacher).
Depute Child Protection Coordinator – Mr Kershaw (Principal Teacher)
