Safeguarding Update

Dear Parents and Carers

Safeguarding arrangements during school closure.

Whilst the school is closed, our duty and responsibility to safeguarding our pupils remains. Our regular check ins with some families will continue throughout this period, just as if the school was open. Please do not feel offended if a member of school staff calls to check in with you, and to speak to your child.

If you have any safeguarding concerns during this time you can still contact the school and ask to speak to the Designated Safeguarding Lead, whether it is concerning your child or about any other pupil from the school.
You can also email the Head of School, Elizabeth Whitehead at office@bessemergrange.southwark.sch.uk or ewhitehead@bessemergrange.southwark.sch.uk
