It is everybody's responsibility to make sure children and young people feel safe and cared for. It is important that you know who to speak to if you are concerned about ANY child in or out of school. Passing on information could help to safeguard young people and should not be seen as interfering.
Our safeguarding officer at Netherthong is the Head Teacher - Miss Rooney Kelly. You can speak to her in confidence about any issues regarding the safety and well-being of children. In her absence the Deputy Safeguarding Leads are Mrs Liz McLoughlin and Mrs Alyson Lindley.
