How we keep children safe at our school

Safeguarding at Harbour View

Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility at Harbour View Primary Academy. All staff and volunteers undergo enhanced DBS checks and receive regular training in line with 'Keeping Children Safe in Education'.

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Claire Thompson (Deputy Headteacher). The Deputy DSLs are Mr James Okafor (Headteacher) and Mrs Fatima Al-Rashid (SENCo). The named safeguarding trustee is Mrs Sandra Bell.

If you have concerns about a child's safety or welfare, please speak to any member of staff or contact the DSL directly. In an emergency, call the police (999) or Newcastle Children's Social Care (0191 277 2500).
