Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting
the welfare of children and young people. We expect all
staff, visitors and volunteers to share this commitment.
If you have concerns regarding the safeguarding or
welfare of any of our pupils, please contact Mrs M Scott
(Designated Safeguarding Lead), or Mrs Scott
(Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead).
St Joseph’s participates in Operation Encompass.
Following the report of an incident of domestic abuse,
school will be advised that the child has been involved.

Online Bullying
We take all forms of ‘online bullying’ – both inside and outside school — very seriously.
Like all forms of bullying, the best thing to do is tell someone immediately. It could be a friend, member of your family or a member of school staff.
By doing so, your problems will soon start to get better.
