Safeguarding at Dovecote School 

Dovecote School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff, visitors and professionals working with our pupils to share this commitment. 

Safeguarding arrangements are underpinned by robust policies and procedures which reflect current statutory guidance, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (2025). 

The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) has overall responsibility for safeguarding and child protection and is supported by trained deputy safeguarding leads. Our safeguarding and child protection policy is reviewed annually and is available below.
