Safeguarding
King’s Park Academy is committed to safeguarding children and promoting children’s welfare. It expects all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment and maintain a vigilant and safe environment. It is our willingness to work in a safe manner and challenge inappropriate behaviour that underpins this commitment.
Should you have any concerns about the wellbeing or safety of a child, please speak to one of the school’s Designated Safeguarding Leads:
Designated Safeguarding Lead - Mrs L Dean
Deputy Safeguarding Leads – Mrs J Seath and Mrs S Heathman
