Linthwaite Ardron CE (VA) Junior and Infant School

SAFEGUARDING  

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 Linthwaite Ardron is the Head Teacher - Mrs Jane Travis.  You can speak to her in confidence about any issues regarding the safety and well-being of children. In her absence the Deputy Safeguarding Lead, is Ms Rebecca Starrett. 

For more urgent matters please see Kirklees Safeguarding Partnership or the police on 999.

Please see our Safeguarding and related policies in the Policies section of the website.
