Safeguarding

St Joseph's School considers the safeguarding of the children and adults in our school as paramount. If children and adults feel safe and happy then all who work here will thrive and learn.
 
We have a number of key adults in school who have responsibility for safeguarding.

We also have governors with a key role in safeguarding in school. Mrs Joanna Poole is our safeguarding governor. Her role is to monitor the safeguarding in school and also to be an extra contact for parents. Mrs Shelley-Anne Douglas is our Chair of Governors and would be a point of contact for any serious concerns including "whistleblowing" or concerns about how the leadership of the school may be dealing with an issue.
