Safeguarding
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 Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL's), who then looks into the concerns and follows the procedures set out in our Child Protection and Safeguarding policies.
Click on our Safeguarding Policy above.
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 Bradford Children's Services Integrated Front Door.
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 Bradford Children's Services Integrated Front Door - 01274 433999 ( 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 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.
Killinghall Primary School is an Operation Encompass School. Operation Encompass aims to provide information from the Police to school following an incident of domestic abuse. This enables school to support children appropriately, in a timely way, following such incidences.
Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility. In Bradford we have the Bradford District Safeguarding Children Partnership. Find out more at https://www.saferbradford.co.uk/children
