Most often, however, it is the accumulation of a number of small incidents, events or observations that provide the evidence of harm being caused to a child.<\/p><p>We at\u00a0Northgate Primary School take our Safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. This means that we continue to ensure that everyone working in the school has successfully completed the necessary clearances and training to enable them to work with our children. Our duties include safeguarding children from radicalisation and extremism &#8211; we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views, the same way we help to protect them from drugs or child sexual exploitation (CSE) for example.<\/p><h3><strong>Key safeguarding roles<\/strong><\/h3><p>It is vital that any concern you have for a child\u2019s welfare, however small is recorded and passed to our Safeguarding Lead.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Designated Safeguarding Lead<\/strong>\u00a0(DSL) is the Headteacher, Mrs Katie Penny<\/li><li><strong>Deputy
