For the best interests of all our students we use the following safeguarding measures:
Cause for Concern – CPOMS
Staff are asked to report any causes for concern on the CPOMS system immediately. An alert will automatically go to the Safeguarding Team who will then ensure that the concern is picked up and dealt with in a timely manner.
If you have any serious concerns about your child or any other student at De Warenne Academy please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Benton-Miller or Mrs Phillips who know who to contact for the best advice and help and is experienced in using the appropriate degree of confidentiality.
Attendance
All lateness and absences are recorded by the Attendance Team. Reasons will be sought for all absence or lateness. Attendance is monitored through these systems and referrals to the Safeguarding Team can be made. Parents will always be informed of concerns around attendance at the earliest point. If attendance concerns continue the Academy will refer to the Education Welfare Service.
