The guiding principle of our safeguarding policy is that all students are creations of God; they are loved, willed and bestowed with a dignity that it is our duty to uphold and protect.  Safeguarding is the responsibility of all staff at St Augustine's and so all are trained to know how to identify abuse, how to manage disclosures made by students and how to report a safeguarding concern.  If you have a concern that any child is being harmed, is at risk of harm please contact our designated safeguarding lead – Mr McNally.

Contacting the school about your child:  please do so by email or phone and your query will be directed to the most relevant staff member.  Please indicate if it is an immediate safeguarding issue concerning any of the following:  sexual abuse, emotional abuse or self-harm and we will respond within 24 hours.  If the issue is not about safeguarding, we aim to  respond within 2 working days.
