Safeguarding & Child Protection

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined as:

protecting children from maltreatment
preventing the impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development
ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care, and
taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

We take Safeguarding very seriously at Bildeston Primary School.

Should you have any concerns, Mrs L Healy is the Designated Safeguarding Lead and Mrs J Shaw is the Alternate Safeguarding Lead.

Mrs J Searle is the Governor responsible for child protection.

Mrs L Healy (Bildeston Primary School) is the Online Safety Lead and the Prevent Lead.

Any other Safeguarding concerns related to the Headteacher can be directed to Mrs H Williams, Chair of Governors by email (CoG@bwfederation.uk).
