Safeguarding

Our commitment

At Bishop Lonsdale Primary School, we are committed to keeping our pupils and staff safe and well both physically and mentally. We will do everything we can to ensure our children and our community is safeguarded and protected from harm.

We have well established safeguarding policies and procedures and work in partnership with Derby Children’s Safeguarding Partnership, as well as actively promoting the welfare of our children in the wider community.

All our Safeguarding practice is underpinned by government guidance:
