Safeguarding & Wellbeing

Nothing is more important to us than the safety and wellbeing of the children at Meadow Bank.

• Our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL) are: Mrs Horsbrough (Head of School), Miss Todd (Pastoral Manager), Mrs Dooling (Learning Mentor) and Mrs Sutcliffe (Learning Mentor) 

•  CHP Member and CHP Chair Tracy Isherwood

• Gary Crompton is the Trust Designated Safeguarding Lead and Louise Terzza is Trustee for Safeguarding. 

What should I do if I have a safeguarding concern?

Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility. If you believe a student at Meadow Bank is at risk of abuse YOU MUST report it. Please call or email the school and ask to speak to a member of the safeguarding team.                                                                                                  

Whistleblowing procedures

Any concerns about inappropriate conduct in school by members of staff or visitors must be taken to the Head of Academy or a member of the Safeguarding team immediately. If you do not feel you can take your concern to those people, please either:

The Chief Executive Officer or the Chair of Trustees via NSAT Business Centre, Gargrave Road, Skipton, BD23 1QN, or by emailing governance@nsat.org.uk. 

Free confidential advice about whistleblowing can also be obtained from Protect.
