Our top priority at Slaley First School is to keep our children safe. Because of this, we have two members of staff who have received further safeguarding training.
It is a legal requirement that each school should have a named school Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for Child Protection.
In our school we currently have two members of staff who have received the training to be DSL teachers.
They are:
Mrs Angela Hayward - DSL
Mrs Rachel O'Neill - Assistant DSL / LAC and Post LAC & Mental Health Lead
The DSL follows the guidance laid down in:
DfE document - Keeping Children Safe in Education - September 2024
And the Interagency Procedures produced by the Local Safeguarding Partnership (NSSP).
