Safeguarding at Westlands

Westlands Secondary School is a community and all those directly connected (staff, volunteers, governors, parents, families and pupils) have an essential role to play in making it safe and secure. Westlands Secondary School recognizes our statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children and we will work with outside agencies in line with Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 and Keeping Children Safe in Education 2018. From September 2019 the school will be using Keeping Safe in Education 2019, which is currently in draft form.

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 who are community based.
