At St Joseph’s, we take our role in safeguarding very seriously as we believe all children have the right to feel and be safe.

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for the school and nursery is:  Mrs Ronicle

Our Safeguarding team consists also of:  Mrs Tucker and Mrs Harrison

Our most recent Child Protection Policy (2024-25) can be found on our Policies page.

In our Long Term Plan, these are identified by the red flag symbol.
