At Denfield Park Primary School we are committed to the safeguarding of all pupils at our school. Please see our Safeguarding Policy for more detailed information of the processes within school. 

At Denfield our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Griffiths and the Deputy Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Hanney. Mrs Macsweeney, Miss Humphreys and Mrs Linton are also part of the safeguarding team. 

If you’re worried that a child or young person is at risk of neglect, harm or abuse, it’s important that you tell someone. We’re not asking you to make judgements or interfere unnecessarily in other people’s lives, we just want to make sure that the child gets the help, support and protection that they may need.

If you believe that a child or young person is in immediate danger you should contact the relevant emergency services by ringing 999.

If the child or young person you are concerned about is not in immediate danger you should report your concern to the multi-agency safeguarding hub (MASH).

Details of how to access Safeguarding support during the Christmas break:

The school will close for the holidays on 20th December and reopen to pupils on 6th January.

If you have a safeguarding concern during this period, then the following routes are
available for support and reporting:

Call the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) helpline
for support and advice if you have a concern for your own or another child’s safety on
0808 800 5000.

Contact Northamptonshire Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) to report
a safeguarding concern about a child 0300 126 7000
If you feel that a child is in immediate danger or risk of harm, call the police on
999. You can also report less urgent concerns to the police on their non-emergency
number, 101.

Children and young people who have been victims of a crime may need support to
cope and recover. You don’t have to report the crime to the police to get support. You
can find free, local support teams across England and Wales on the Victim and
Witness Information site.
