More often, however, it is the accumulation of a number of small incidents, events or observations that provides evidence that a child may be at risk of harm.<\/p>\n\n<p>At Northgate Primary School &amp; Nursery, we take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. We ensure that everyone working in the school has successfully completed the necessary clearances and training required to work with our children. Our duties also include safeguarding children from radicalisation and extremism. We have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views in the same way that we help protect them from risks such as drug misuse and child sexual exploitation (CSE).<\/p>\n\n<h3>Key Safeguarding Roles<\/h3>\n\n<p>It is vital that any concern you have about a child&#8217;s welfare, however small, is recorded and passed to our Designated Safeguarding Lead.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL):<\/strong> Miss Abi Criddle, Nursery Manager<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Deputy DSL:<\/strong> Miss Amy Chadwick, Early Years Practitioner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>All staff members at Northgate Primary School &amp; Nursery have an important role to play in identifying welfare concerns and possible indicators of abuse or neglect at an early stage.<\/p>\n\n<p>If the Designated Safeguarding Leads are unavailable, or if it is outside school hours, please contact:<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Children&#8217;s Services:<\/strong> <a
