Safeguarding at Northwood Primary School

Everyone employed at our school has a responsibility in relation to child protection. In most cases this will be the referral of concerns to his/ her line manager. In day to day contact with children at risk, we have opportunity to note concerns and to meet with parents and other associated adults, where this is appropriate.

​

Increasingly, schools are expected to work with, and support different agencies to enable the most appropriate form of intervention to take place. The needs and safety of the child is at the centre of any decision we may need to take.​
