Keeping Children Safe


How do we keep children safe at Woodlands Primary School?

Keeping children safe is the most important thing we do. We want all children in our school to feel happy, safe and be confident in themselves.

In order to support this, we have many dedicated staff who can help you, should you need it. In school, we have a dedicated learning mentor team, with specialists working within safeguarding, families and attendance. Alongside this, we provide specialist intervention groups to those children who need additional support; in our Nurture and The Tree House provisions.

We work closely with Sheffield Safeguarding Hub and Children's Social Care who give us specialist advice on ensuring the safety and welfare of all children in school.

If you have concerns about a child you can call Sheffield Safeguarding Hub directly on 01142 734855.

Lines are open 8.45am - 5.15pm Monday to Thursday, and 8.45am - 4.45pm Fridays. If you believe a child is in immediate danger, you must call 999 and inform the police.
