SAFEGUARDING

All staff at oakbrook School have a responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of our pupils. We also work collaboratively with external agencies to ensure pupils and staff are safeguarded and their welfare is promoted. All safeguarding concerns are dealt with by staff trained to the level of Designated Safeguarding Lead. The rest of the school staff, teaching and non-teaching, undergo annual training around their own safeguarding requirements as outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education. Should you have any concerns about the health, safety or wellbeing of a pupil who attends oakbrook School you should share this information with an appropriate member of staff immediately. If your concerns are of a child protection nature, where you feel the pupil may be subjected to either physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect you can contact the people listed below via the school office or email safeguarding@oakbrookschool.co.uk.
  • Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) – Dr Z. Maqbool (Headteacher).
  • Deputy Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) – Mrs N. Pye (Assistant Headteacher).
  • The proprietor is the linked person to the school responsible for safeguarding is Anita Sharma who can be contacted via email at anita@oakbrookschool.co.uk.

From time to time, pupil information may be shared with third party agencies where welfare concerns have been raised. These concerns will initially be shared with the pupil’s parents or carer unless their involvement places the pupil at risk. 

Our safeguarding policy can be found on the school website or alternatively you can contact the school office for a printed copy.

ONLINE SAFETY

It has never been more important for parents and carers to understand how their children use the internet and associated technologies, so that they can help to manage the risks that exist and reinforce the important online safety messages that we should all be promoting. You can find out more about how children use social media, the apps they use, the risks they face, how to use privacy settings, and advice and tips about how to talk to your children, at:
