Safeguarding

Ashperton Primary Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

If you have any concerns in relation to the welfare or safety of any children or young people, please contact the members of staff below. There will always be someone to speak to you. 

Mr Chris Bandfield - Designated Safeguarding Lead

Miss Sam Taylor -Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead

Mrs Rachael Hassan -Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead

If we have significant concerns about a child, we have a duty to communicate these concerns to Social Care. It is then a matter for Social Care to decide on the steps to be taken.

If we make the decision to speak to Social Care about your child, we will always undertake to share our intention to do so with you unless we deem that doing so could put the child at greater risk of harm, or impede a criminal investigation.

We fully appreciate that this can be very distressing but we have to follow the procedures required by the Herefordshire Safeer Children and Young Person Partnership.
