Safeguarding @ MOSPS

 

Kate Crawford (Headteacher) is the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) with Kristen Walker-Arnott and Ben Willis (Deputy Headteacher) as Deputy DSLs. The whole team has had full and refresher DSL training with Hampshire County Council. 

 

What does a Designated Safeguarding Lead do?

 

The role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead was specified in the Children's Act and ensured that every organisation had a “named person” for safeguarding children and young people. Prior to that, the role had frequently been known as the Child Protection Officer. The Designated Safeguarding Lead has a responsibility at both a strategic level within the organisation and on a day-to-day basis.

 

Key Aspects of the Designated Safeguarding Lead role includes:

 

  • Making sure all staff are aware how to raise safeguarding concerns
  • Ensuring all staff understand the symptoms of child abuse and neglect
  • Referring any concerns to social care
  • Monitoring children who are the subject of child protection plans
  • Maintaining accurate and secure child protection records
