Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility in schools.
This includes:

• Protecting children from maltreatment;
• Preventing impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development;
• Ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and
• Taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

Our role in school is clearly defined by statutory Department for Education (DfE) guidance - Keeping Children Safe in Education. Our duties form an important part of the wider safeguarding system for children and mean that we will always consider what is in the best interests of the child.

All schools have a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). At Camp Hill Girls our safeguarding leads are:

• Ms Vicky Ridley, Assistant Headteacher (DSL).
• Mrs Jayne Neal, Deputy Headteacher, Curriculum (DDSL)
• Ms Lyndsey Maginnis, Head of School (DDSL) 
• Mr Chris Revitt, Assistant Headteacher, Head of VI Form (DDSL)
• All Heads of Year (DDSL)

If you have any concerns or queries of a safeguarding nature, please contact the DSL via safeguarding@chg.kevibham.org or your child’s Head of Year.

Safeguarding Governor: Ms J Ellins
