Safeguarding At Emley
It is everybody's responsibility to make sure children and young people feel safe and cared for. It is important that you know who to speak to if you are concerned about ANY child in or out of school. Our safeguarding officer at Emley is the Senior Teacher - Mrs Schofield; you can speak to her in confidence about any issues regarding the safety and well-being of children. In her absence the Deputy Safeguarding Leads are Mrs Youle (Bursar) and Mrs Cameron (Head Teacher).
For more urgent matters please see Kirklees Safeguarding Partnership or the police on 999.
Please see our Safeguarding and related policies in the Policies section of the website.
