E-Safety for Parents

At Preston Primary School we take safeguarding pupils seriously. Our safeguarding role can take on lots of forms from helping when something has gone wrong to teaching children and helping to prevent things going wrong. This includes safeguarding in the virtual world as well as in the real world. Within school we have three fully trained designated safeguarding lead officers these are;

  • Mrs Sue Richardson, Executive Headteacher
  • Mr Paul Sanderson, Head of School
  • Mrs Clare King, Family link officer

You can approach any of these officers if you would like to discuss any concerns you have. Our Designated Child Protection Governor is Duncan Clift.

All of our staff hold the Level 1 safeguarding children qualification. In addition Paul Sanderson and Clare King attend a termly safeguarding forum through Stockton council and disseminates pertinent points to all staff in staff meetings. This ensures that all staff remain current and up to date for the duration of their qualification. Each month a safeguarding quiz goes out to all staff to ensure that they are constantly updated.

  • Mr Paul Sanderson is also our designated teacher for looked after children
  • Mr Andrew Robinson is our young carers champion

Below you will find further information about some of the safeguarding initiatives that school are involved in.
