Safeguarding

At Lytchett Matravers Primary School, the safety and well-being of our children and their families is our priority.  This page contains key information about safeguarding procedures at our school.

If you have any concerns about the safety or well-being of a child, please speak to a member of staff in confidence.  There will always be a Child Protection Officer available to speak to you.  These officers are also called 'Designated Senior Leaders for Child Protection' (DSL/DDSLs).

The Designated Senior Lead (DSL) for Child Protection is the Deputy Headteacher, Laura Dominey.  We also have four Deputy Designated Senior Leaders for Child Protection (DDSLs) and these are the Headteacher Mr Simon France, the Assistant Headteacher & EYFS Lead Mrs Amy Foster, the Special Needs and Inclusion Lead & Assistant Headteacher, Mrs Heather Helm and our Pastoral Care Worker Mrs Kate McGrail.  

We will always be happy to help and listen to your concerns, just contact the school office, stating that you have a Safeguarding concern and a member of our team will get back to you urgently.
