Reporting to the Deputy Headteacher (Pastoral), the postholder will work closely with colleagues across the school as Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL). The role involves leading on high- level safeguarding, mental health, neglect, and crisis support, managing a caseload of the most complex cases, and offering advice and support to colleagues in relation to less complex interventions.
The postholder will act as the first point of contact in the school for any child protection issues and will lead the safeguarding team.
