Our Safeguarding Team is made up of Mrs Green (Designated Safeguarding Lead) and Ms Thornber (Deputy Safeguarding Lead).
Our Link Governor for Safeguarding is Mrs Kelt.
If you have any safeguarding concerns about a child who attends Fellside Community Primary School, please contact the staff team with information so that we can support appropriately and in confidence.
Our Safeguarding Policy can be found under Key Policies, in the "About" section.
Keeping Children Safe in Education - Part One
NSPCC - Pantosaurus
The Pantosaurus rule is a great, age-appropriate, way to teach children about keeping safe from abuse. We introduce it to our children in Key Stage One and woud recommend that families talk about it at home and watch the video together (be careful, the tune is a catchy one!)
