Safeguarding Information

At Bridge Learning Campus,  the health, safety and well-being of every child is our top priority and we have very well developed structures in place to combat safeguarding issues.

If you have any worries about your emotional or mental health whilst school is closed, you can email us on wellbeing@blc.school or phone the school number 01173534472 ext 2010 and leave a message. We will get back to you within 24 hours. 

At Bridge Learning Campus, the health, safety and well-being of every child is our top priority. We expect all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment to safeguarding our pupils.

We listen to our pupils and take seriously what they tell us. All school staff are trained in Child Protection, and children are made aware of the adults they can talk to if they have any concerns. Staff are trained to look out for signs of physical/emotional harm or neglect and are required to report these to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).

The procedures which we follow have been laid down by the KBSP Team and the school has adopted a Child Protection Policy in line with this, for the safety of all. On rare occasions our concern about a child may mean that we have to consult other agencies. We will ensure that all concerns are discussed with parent/carers first, before any referrals are made, unless we believe that such a move may be contrary to a child’s welfare.

The Designated Safeguarding Leads are Ms Caroline Johnson &  Miss Liz Hackling (Assistant Head Teacher).

The Designated Person for Looked After Children (LAC) is the Heads of House for Secondary and Angele Trenemam Primary SENDCo. 

The school adheres to the following three DFE safeguarding documents:

Working Together to Safeguard Children
Keeping Children Safe in Education
The Prevent Duty

The school has a suite of Safeguarding documents which are reviewed regularly.

If you are concerned about the safety of a child, you can email the DSL at wellbeing@blc.school or you can contact First Response https://www.bristol.gov.uk/social-care-health/report-your-concerns-about-a-child or phone on 0117 903 6444.

If you require any further information please contact Mr Rupert Maule, Headteacher via Alex McAfee, PA to Headteacher amcafee@blc.school.
