Abbotskerswell Primary School is commited to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and expects all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.

Around the school you will see our safeguarding information posters clearly displayed. On the posters you will find the following information along with photographs of our Designated Child Protection Officers:

If you are concerned about a child's welfare, report this as soon as possible the same day to either:

• Senior Designated Child Protection Officer - Mr Kevin Martin

• Deputy Designated Child Protection Officers - Miss Lisa Walsh & Mrs Lyndsey Kerswell

Child protection is everybody's responsibility and all people in the school community have a duty to act on any concern.
