Safeguarding Children at St Nicolas’ CE Infant School 
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
and expects all staff, volunteers and other members of the school community
to share this commitment.
 
This means that we have a Child Protection Policy and safeguarding procedures in place. All adults using our school site (including supply staff, volunteers and governors) must ensure that they are aware of these procedures and wil be asked to sign that they have read and understood our safeguarding informtion (see PDF below). Parents and carers can find the policy on the school website or are welcome to request a paper copy from the office.
 
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare.  We will ensure that we will discuss any concerns we might have about your child with you as parents/carers first
unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare.
 
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Dina Pandis (pandis@st-nicolas.surrey.sch.uk). Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Lucie Perry (perry@st-nicolas.surrey.sch.uk).

 
If you are concerned about the welfare of a child at this school, please record your concern, and any observations or conversation heard, and report to the DSL as soon as possible the same day. Do NOT conduct your own investigation.
 
If your concerns relate to the actions or behaviour of a member of staff (which could suggest that s/he is unsuitable to work with children) then you should report this to the Headteacher (or the Chair of Governors if the concern relates to the Headteacher), who will consider what action to take.

The Designated Safeguarding Governor is Jo Radley (radley@st-nicolas.surrey.sch.uk) and Chair of Governors is Jenna Clare (clare@st-nicolas.surrey.sch.uk)
 
With thanks for your support in this important matter.
