Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.

If you are worried about a child or family, it is your duty to talk to someone and get help. You can contact Miss Blake who is the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) on dsl@grove.oxon.sch.uk or contact Mrs Leon, or Mrs Elgar who are the deputy DSLs. They will follow the right channels to provide support.

If you prefer to discuss with someone external, you can contact the South team Locality and Community Support Service (LCSS) in Abingdon on 0345 2412705 LCSS@oxfordshire.gov.uk or for an immediate concern about harm to a child contact the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 0345 050 7666.
