Safeguarding Statement

 

The parents of students at Cambian Whinfell School should be aware that the School has a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of their students. This responsibility necessitates a safeguarding policy and the School may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. 

This policy complies with guidance from the DfE and Westmorland and Furness Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP). The School recognises it is an agent of referral and not of investigation. Anyone can make a referral to children's social care, if necessary. The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for the School is Jennifer Carradus and the Deputy DSL are Paddy Sandham and Emma Brown.
