Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility

Safeguarding is the protection of children from harm and ensuring they grow up in a safe and caring environment.

Lyndhurst School recognises its moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils.  We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued.   We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and operate within Surrey’s agreed inter-agency procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.  Child protection forms part of the school’s safeguarding responsibilities.

Concerns regarding the welfare of a child can be raised with a member of the Lyndhurst Safeguarding Team:

Miss Emma Morgan (Head of Pre-Prep)

Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads

Mrs Louise Nye (Marketing, Admissions & Secretarial)
