Agenda item

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services. This report was referred to the Board of Governors by the Community and Children’s Services Committee, as per the resolution attached to the report.

The Board considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services which provided Governors with information about the Local Authorities Designated Officer (LADO) activity for the period of April 2014 to March 2015.

The Chairman noted that the report suggested that multi-agency training on Safeguarding may be appropriate, but noted that the Board of Governors had received a training presentation on Safeguarding at the last Board meeting, and felt that Safeguarding was an issue which was taken extremely seriously by all Governors.

The Headmistress explained that she updated the Lead Governor for Safeguarding (Alderman Russell) on a bi-weekly basis regarding any issues of concern regarding pupils. The Headmistress also noted that she and her staff regularly called the LADO to discuss issues on an informal basis.

RESOLVED – That the Board notes the report.
