At Dean Bank Primary and Nursery School our Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mr Craig Brown is the primary Designated Teacher for Looked after Children. Mrs Kirsty Hall (Deputy Headteacher), Mr Will Haynes (Assistant Headteacher) and Mrs Katie Hay (SENDCO) also have the required knowledge and training for the role. Mrs Sharon Temple is our ‘Looked After Children’ governor. They ensure all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who are looked after and have SEN.
We work very closely with all the team around a looked after child. We are involved in developing the PEP and use Pupil Premium to ensure that any specific interventions are implemented.
