Your child’s welfare is of paramount importance to us. It is our statutory duty of care to safeguard your child. We will also seek external support if we have any concerns about your child and, in some instances, this may mean that we consult with other agencies even before we contact you.

The procedures we follow have been laid down by the Wolverhampton Safeguarding Children’s Board. If you want to know more about such procedure, please speak to the Principal or visit www.wolverhamptonsafeguarding.org.uk.

At St Michael’s, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff, governors, parents, volunteers and visitors to share in this commitment.

Hayley Connolly, is the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). Adam Jewkes, Sharon Bowen and Emma Greensill are Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSL).

Our safeguarding link governor is Mr Aston. 

You may approach any of these staff members or governors if you have a concern about a safeguarding issue.

Please also visit the useful links and e-safety sections to help us keep every child safe and well.

St Michael’s Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and culture of vigilance.

Operation Encompass (Domestic Abuse)

Our school works alongside West Midlands Police as part of Operation Encompass to tackle domestic abuse. We are committed to supporting the victims of domestic abuse- particularly those children who live in households where this unfortunately occurs.
