Safeguarding
One of the most important jobs we have in school is to keep the children safe.
All adults in school have regular training to maintain and update their knowledge, awareness and understanding of keeping children safe . At school we have a thorough system to record and monitor any concerns, which means we deal with them promptly and effectively.
The school has 2 Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) - Mrs Horsley and Mrs Dyson plus Mrs Gotteri as Safeguarding Governor.
If you ever have any safeguarding concerns about any member of the school community or need support you can speak to or contact Mrs Horsley (Headteacher headteacher@palterton.derbyshire.sch.uk) or the safeguarding team safeguarding@palterton.derbyshire.sch.uk
It is a challenge to keep children safe online. We work hard to educate the children about online safety. The knowledge and skills are embedded in our curriculum and the children learn about the risks them or their friends might encounter or that exist in the real and online world.
If you are concerned about your child's safety online, it might need to reported to the police, you can do this via CEOP via the link at the head of this page.
Safeguarding remains a priority for us even when the school is closed like during a school holiday or closure. If you have any concerns about the safety or well-being of a child, you can contact safeguarding@palterton.derbyshire.sch.uk or headteacher@palterton.derbyshire.sch.uk
These are some links to useful websites that support families with online safety.
