At Willington Primary School, all staff are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We have in place a robust child protection and safeguarding policy and all Staff, Governors and Volunteers have a clear understanding regarding abuse and neglect in all forms, including how to identify, respond and report.

The school has a Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy which can be found on the link below.  We use this policy to guide our actions and to ensure that we are keeping children safe by following agreed procedures.  

There may also be times when adults are concerned about children in the community.  Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility so please do act on your concerns. You can contact:

Derbyshire County Council's Child Protection department on 01629 533190 or The NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.

If you have a concern about the safety of any Willington Primary School child, you can also contact our school safeguarding team.  During school hours a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) will always be on-site or contactable by phone.  

During term-time but out of school hours, an email account is set up to receive any safeguarding concerns from other agencies or from parents. This is monitored on a daily basis during term-time by the DSLs:

safeguarding@willington.derbyshire.sch.uk

During school holidays, this email account is monitored on a weekly basis by the on-call senior leader.
