Safeguarding at Westlands
Westlands Secondary School is committed to safeguarding our students, staff and visitors and expect anyone connected to the school to share this commitment. Westlands Secondary School works with outside agencies in line with Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 and Keeping Children Safe in Education 2019 to promote the safeguarding and wellbeing of all students and staff.
We have a strong safeguarding team at Westlands Secondary School, the majority of whom are community based. Any issues of safeguarding can be raised with either the Designated Safeguarding Lead Mr Gary Sayers or with one of the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads. Direct contact details can be found in the list below. You can also click on the image below to see our Designated Safeguarding Leadership Team poster.
