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

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.
