In this period of such dramatic and ongoing change to our everyday lives, it is important to
share with you all some useful contacts, links and reminders around Safeguarding for our
children as well as our adults.

Concerns for a child’s safety and well being

• Call 999 if it is an emergency and the child is in immediate danger
• You can report concerns directly to Southampton Children’s Services on 02380833336 or you can complete an on-line referral form at https://www.southampton.gov.uk/health-social-care/children/child-social-care/childprotection.aspx. You do not need to provide your identity. 
• Mrs Talbot-Jones and Mr Davies are our Designated Safeguarding Leads for the school. You can contact them on:-

        Mrs Talbot-Jones - head@stdenysprimary.co.uk

        Mr D - deputy@stdenysprimary.co.uk

Telephone 07946572748

Any general inquiries or issues please contact:-

On-line safety
With all of our children being actively encouraged to use technology, they are therefore at
increased risk of potential safeguarding issues on-line. It is vital that your child’s use of the
internet and any form of social media is carefully monitored and that security measures are put in place to help keep your child safe. Please use the links below to find out more information.

Support for adults
The current situation and the uncertainties as a result will naturally increase anxiety and
pressures for us all. Please do not think you are alone. There is a vast range of support available for us all to use should we need to. If you scroll down, you can find some helpful contact details and support sites. We hope that all our families keep safe, stay connected and we want to do all we can to help.
