Safeguarding
High Bank Junior, Infant & Nursery School Safeguarding Policies
At High Bank we work closely with parents/carers. If we have any concerns, we will speak to you first. However, in exceptional circumstances, we may need to contact other professionals first, which is in accordance with our children's policy.
If parents/carers or any member of the public have any safeguarding concerns, please contact the school to discuss this further or email head@highbankschool.co.uk
If you have concerns about a child's safety or welfare in school, which you feel you cannot address with the DSL (Headteacher), or the DDSL, you can contact the Chair of Governors or Governor Safeguarding Lead at: office@highbankschool.co.uk
Our Safeguarding Team is further supported by Sonya Durkin-Jones, our Safeguarding Governor.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.
We follow Kirklees Safeguarding Children Partnership procedures.
