Keeping children safe
At Cranbrook Education Campus we strongly recognise the need for vigilant awareness of safeguarding issues. All staff have received appropriate training and induction so they understand their roles and responsibilities and are confident about carrying them out.
Staff, pupils, parents and governors feel secure that they can raise any issues or concerns about the safety or welfare of children and know that they will be listened to and taken seriously. This is achieved by maintaining an ethos of safeguarding, promoting the welfare of children and young people and protecting staff.
We have a duty to refer all safeguarding issues to external agencies that need to be involved.
The Senior Designated Lead’s for child protection are;
- Mr Stephen Farmer – Head of Campus/Secondary Headteacher – Campus/Secondary Designated Safeguarding Lead
- Mrs Louise Moretta – Primary Headteacher – Primary Designated Safeguarding Lead
- Mrs Sophie Goguel (Maternity Cover- Mrs Lisa Jones ) – Child Protection & Campus Safeguarding Lead
- Mr Russ Williams – Family Support Worker
- Mr Les Bayliss – Nominated Safeguarding Governor for Campus
