Safeguarding

Child Protection and Safeguarding

When a member of staff has any child protection or welfare concerns about a student, they have a duty to report these concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Lead in the school. In dealing with such instances we are legally required to follow Northamptonshire County Council’s procedures which may require us to refer to the MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub) team.

The academy’s safeguarding policy can be found at the following link:

Naseby CE Primary Academy takes its Safeguarding and Child Protection responsibilities very seriously. We work closely with the local authority and other appropriate external agencies to ensure the welfare of all our children. If you have any concerns about a child’s welfare, please contact a member of the Safeguarding team:

  • Mrs L Cook – Head of School (Head Designated Safeguarding Lead)
  • Miss East – Class 3 Teacher (Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead)
  • Mrs Ellis - Nurture Lead
  • Mrs Katrina Jones – Safeguarding governor

If you are concerned about a child outside school hours, you can call (anonymously if needed) the local Multi Agency Support Hub on 0300 126 1000 or click these links:

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)

Statutory definition of Child Sexual Exploitation

Child sexual exploitation is a form of child sexual abuse. It occurs where an individual or group takes advantage of an imbalance of power to coerce, manipulate or deceive a child or young person under the age of 18 into sexual activity (a) in exchange for something the victim needs or wants, and/or (b) for the financial advantage or increased status of the perpetrator or facilitator. The victim may have been sexually exploited even if the sexual activity appears consensual. Child sexual exploitation does not always involve physical contact; it can also occur through the use of technology.
