Safeguarding

Safeguarding is the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm.

We are dedicated to looking after all our children the best we possibly can. Safeguarding covers children’s physical, social and emotional well-being.

To do this effectively we have one teacher who co-ordinates this work, this person is known as the Designated Teacher for Safeguarding or Designated Safeguarding Lead. Our DSL is Mrs. Laina Pettifor

Any concerns about children’s welfare or wellbeing should be discussed with Laina as soon as possible. If Laina is unavailable then please contact Heidi Hudd, Interim Executive Headteacher.

If you have a safeguarding query you can also email dsl.safeguarding@oldmixon.extendlearning.org

The school has a ELAN Safeguarding Policy 2019-20 that is in line with recommendations from NSSCB. The policy is reviewed annually by governors and is a working document that reflects our practice. Parents/carers can request a paper copy from the office.
