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.
At Ibstock Junior School we have four trained staff for Safeguarding Issues
Mr Lewin Executive Headteacher
Mr Carte Co Headteacher - Safeguarding Lead
Mrs Whitehouse Co Headteacher - Safeguarding Lead
Mrs Lewin Special Educational Needs Coordinator - DSO
Mrs McCarty Family Support Worker - DSO
In addition, Mrs Garratt is our Safeguarding governor and regularly monitors the Safeguarding provision at the school.
