Safeguarding Statement

The parents of students at ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Whinfell School should be aware that the School has a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of their students.

This policy complies with guidance from the DfE and Westmorland and Furness Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP). The School recognises it is an agent of referral and not of investigation. Anyone can make a referral to children's social care, if necessary. The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for the School is Jennifer Carradus and the Deputy DSL are Paddy Sandham and Emma Brown.
