Every adult in Scotland has a role in ensuring all our children and young people are safe and protected from harm at all times and in all situations. The Head Teacher is responsible for the school’s actions in response to Child Protection concerns.

If there are any Child protection concerns in Holy Cross the Head Teacher or the Child Protection Co-ordinator will follow North Lanarkshire Child Protection Procedures and Guidelines.  In Holy Cross Primary School and Nursery Class, our Child Protection Coordinator is Mrs Marie Murphy Head Teacher.

Adult Protection

The Council has responsibility under the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 for the protection and support of adults at risk of harm within North Lanarkshire. Its employees therefore have the responsibility to ensure the welfare of all adults at risk of harm with whom they come into contact, as well as providing the highest possible standard of care for some of the most vulnerable members of our society.  If there are any Adult Protection concerns the Head Teacher or the Adult Protection Co-ordinator will follow North Lanarkshire Adult Protection Procedures and Guidelines. Adult Protection Co-ordinator is: Mrs Marie Murphy

If you have any concerns please telephone the school directly and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
