Safeguarding

Our school is committed to safeguarding children and promoting children’s welfare. We expect all staff, advocates, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment and maintain a vigilant and safe environment.

Everyone has a responsibility to act without delay to protect children by reporting anything that might suggest a child has been harmed or is at risk of being harmed. We would expect you to also report to the Head of School any behaviours of any adults working in the school that may concern you.

By signing in as a visitor, you are agreeing to follow the school’s safeguarding and conduct advice, and where appropriate the staff behaviour and conduct code. This information can be accessed at the school office when signing in.

At William MacGregor, the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Mrs. Natalie Jones (Head of School) and the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSL) are Mrs Laura Avill and Mrs Megan Nicholson
