A message from Lead DSL - Mrs A. Giles

I am the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Senior Mental Health Lead and Lead for Online Safety at Westlands Secondary School.

Westlands Secondary School is a safe and nurturing community where the safeguarding of our students, staff, and visitors is paramount. We believe in building strong relationships and providing a supportive environment where everyone feels valued. Our dedicated Safeguarding Team works closely with both internal and external partners, following the guidelines of 'Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023' and 'Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024.' We provide regular safeguarding training for all staff. 

Westlands Secondary School's safeguarding team, deeply rooted in our community, is readily available to provide direct support. If you have any concerns about your child's safety, please don't hesitate to contact the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) for your child’s community. Their contact details are listed on the safeguarding home page.
