Killinghall Primary School

At Killinghall we have a duty of care to ensure all of our children are safe. In school we do this by making sure that everyone who comes into the building is suitable to work with children. All of our staff and visitors who have access to children are DBS checked. 

All concerns are recorded and reported to one of our Child Protection Named Persons, who then investigates and follows the procedures set out in our Child Protection and Safeguarding policies.

If we have concerns about a child’s wellbeing we will speak to the child’s parents/carers in the first instance unless this may place the child at risk.

If we have significant concerns about the wellbeing of a child we are required to follow our policies and have a responsibility to make a referral to Children’s Social Care Initial Contact point.

If you have concerns about the safety or welfare of a child these are the numbers that you can call for advice or to make a referral:

• During office hours call Children's Social Care Initial Contact Point - 01274 435600 (8.30am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, 8.30am to 4.30pm on Friday)
• At all other times Emergency Duty Team - 01274 431010
• If you have reason to believe that a child is at immediate risk of harm, contact the police on 999

You can also report your concerns to the NSPCC

Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility. In Bradford we have the 'Working Together to Safeguard Children-The Bradford Partnership'. Its role is to monitor the quality and consistency of safeguarding Practice.
