Our DSLs are:

• Lead DSL – Mrs M Dunckley
• Deputy DSL – Mrs S Boyers (Assistant Principal)
• Deputy DSL – Mrs A Priest (Family Support Worker)

Please be advised, that if you have a safeguarding concern relating to the welfare of a child in the holidays, members of the public can contact the Milton Keynes Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) who will listen and deal with any concerns.

At Holne Chase Primary School, all staff believe that we should provide a safe, caring, positive and stimulating environment that promotes social, physical, and moral development of the individual child.

Working together to safeguard children defines safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children as:

• protecting children from maltreatment
• preventing impairment of children’s health or development
• ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
• taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes

Child Protection is a part of Safeguarding and promoting welfare. It refers to the activity that is undertaken to protect specific children who are suffering, or are likely to suffer, significant harm. Effective child protection is essential as part of wider work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. However, all agencies and individuals should aim to proactively safeguard and promote the welfare of children so that the need for action to protect children from harm is reduced.
