Safeguarding

The King’s School safeguarding and child protection policy aims to:

• Actively promote the well-being of pupils.
• Safeguard and promote the welfare of children, staff and others who come into contact with the Academy and to protect them from harm.
• Have clear procedures in place for dealing with and referring concerns about the welfare of any individual and/or allegations of abuse, neglect and/or exploitation.
• Raise awareness about how to report concerns and how they will be investigated whether they are current or historic in nature.
• Raise staff awareness about the Academy's safeguarding expectations.
• Ensure staff are competent to carry out their safeguarding responsibilities and feel supported in this role.
• Ensure consistent good safeguarding practice throughout the Academy to include the promotion of a zero-tolerance approach to peer-on-peer sexual violence and harassment in which pupils are confident to report it and staff are confident to identify and respond to it.
• Promote a whole school culture of safety, equality and protection.

If you have a concern that a child is being harmed, is at risk of harm or you receive disclosure either intentionally or unintentionally then you must contact the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL): Mr Justin Dixon (Deputy Head Master) at justin.dixon@kings.lincs.sch.uk or on 01476 563180. 

The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) is Miss Simone Bieber who can be contacted on simone.bieber@kings.lincs.sch.uk or on 01476 563180.
