Safeguarding
Safeguarding is given the highest priority at Blackwell. We continually strive to maintain and foster positive relationships with the local community and the children and families that we serve.
There may be times when adults are concerned about children in the community. If so, then you can contact Derbyshire County Council Child Protection department on 01629 533190 or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Gardner and our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mr Ward.
Please don't ignore concerns; Child protection is everyone's responsibility.
What is CEOP?
CEOP is a law enforcement agency and is here to keep children and young people safe from sexual exploitation and abuse.
There are times when adults or children may be worried about something they've seen or been sent online. If so, you can visit CEOP using the button to the right or visit the Internet Watch Foundation.
I-Vengers
The i-vengers project is a year-long peer-led digital leader programme which seeks to engage, educate and empower young explorers of digital technology and help them make safer choices online. Kindly funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire and Derbyshire County Council, together we can make the online environment a safer place. Together, we are i-vengers.
At Blackwell we are committed to supporting all our families. The school has a family support worker (Martin Holmes). He works alongside pupils, parents and the school providing the following support, help and advice on any of the following:
- Issues surrounding attendance
- Support with TAF (Team around the family) meetings. These are voluntary meetings led by school and involve support families with multi agencies.
- Support parents/carers with behaviour at home.
- Provide pupils in school with 1:1 and group pastoral interventions.
- Provide tailored support for pupils with Special Educational Needs.
- Plan and deliver active provision at lunchtime for all pupils across the school.
