Child protection in
schools
Child protection and the
prevention of abuse is a key priority in Newham.
The welfare of children and young people is very
important. Everyone has a responsibility to report concerns where
they believe a child or young person may be at risk.
We work in partnership with other agencies in an attempt to detect,
prevent and protect children and young people from harm. If you
have any concerns about a child at school, please ring the Chief
Education Welfare Officer to discuss on 0208 430
4890.
