Safeguarding

Safeguarding is the term schools, police, medical professionals and others use to refer to children's welfare. In the first instance if you have concerns about a child's welfare at Ibstock Junior School we would ask you to come to us. However sometimes it may seem better to go to another agency.

Below is a link to the Leicestershire and Rutland Safeguarding Board which provides further information and links which you may find useful.
