It is a legal requirement that each school should have a named school Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for Child Protection.
In our school we currently have three members of staff who have received the training to be DSL teachers.
They are:
Mrs Angela Hayward - DSL
Mrs Carly Robinson - Deputy DSL
The DSL follows the guidance laid down in:
DfE document - Keeping Children Safe in Education - September 2024
And the Interagency Procedures produced by the Local Safeguarding Partnership (NSSP).
The Northumberland LADO (Local Authority Designated Officer) is Louise Prudhoe and can be contacted by email at LADO@northumberland.gov.uk or by telephone on 01670 623979
