Safeguarding

Here at Woodhouses we are committed to keeping all our children happy and safe both within school and the wider community. We are passionate about providing a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment where all of our children can learn and grow.

The safety and welfare of our children is very important to us. If you have a concern about a student here, please contact the school directly as soon as possible and ask to speak to a designated safeguarding lead.

It is our strongest belief that to be able to be engaged in learning, children need to feel happy and safe both at home and at school. All our staff are here to support children that may be worried or in need of help. Beyond that we support all our families in a variety of ways including signposting to other relevant agencies. 

The school's designated safeguarding leads are:

Mr. Neil Mack - Safeguarding and Well-being Leader
