Safeguarding at Queen Elizabeth's School, Wakefield
Commitment to Safeguarding
At Queen Elizabeth’s, we recognise the importance of children receiving the right help at the right time to address risks and to prevent issues from escalating; acting on and referring the early signs of need, risk, abuse and mental health problems; keeping clear records; listening to the children’s views; reassessing concerns when situations do not improve, sharing information quickly and challenging inaction, whilst recognising that children may not feel ready or know how to tell someone that they are being abused.
All members of our School community assist by maintaining the security of our School site and by reporting anything they feel threatens the safety or wellbeing of themselves or others. Should pupils or parents have any concerns in this respect, they should contact the child’s Form Tutor or any other member of staff who will alert our Designated Safeguarding Leads.
