The Designated Safeguarding Lead at Heath Lane Academy is Mrs Philippa Curtis, Assistant Principal
Safeguarding is about ensuring everyone is safe from harm – safe from bullying, safe from people who could abuse, safe from discrimination or harassment – and that we all feel safe in our environment.
The school works with Operation Encompass.
If you have any safeguarding concerns please contact: Jamie Wheeler, Safeguarding Officer on 07583 063837.
