Safeguarding
Safeguarding
At Our Lady’s, the health and safety of all children is of paramount importance. Parents send their children to school each day with the expectation that school provides a secure environment in which their children can flourish. Our Lady’s therefore has to ensure that this expectation becomes a reality. In order to do this a wide range of measures are put in place.
Please see our current Safeguarding/Child Protection policy on our Policies page.
If you require more information, please ask a member of staff.

Early Help
Early Help Offer
The purpose of Early Help is to prevent any issues from getting worse by offering support at the right time. By providing support to our families early, we aim to make sure that advice and support is given before any concerns escalate and start to have more significant impact. Early Help support is offered to the whole family, and only with their agreement and engagement.
Below is a leaflet providing more information:
