Right Choice is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and all staff and
volunteers must share this commitment.
We are also fully committed to ensuring that effective safeguarding procedures are in place to
support children, families and staff at school. Any concern of a child protection nature is passed to
the members of staff who are trained to be the Designated People for Child Protection. The
Designated Safeguarding Lead at Right Choice is: Banjo Aromolaran and he is supported by a team
of Senior Management Team: Dawn Brown and Trevor Brown and other members of our school
staff.
If you have any serious concerns about your child or any other pupil at Right Choice, please do not
hesitate to contact the Designated Safeguarding Lead; he is available to listen and talk through your
concerns, as well as knowing who to contact for advice and help and he is experienced in using the
appropriate degree of confidentiality.
For the best interests of all our children, as well as ensuring that we comply with our legal duties, all
teachers, support staff and volunteers are asked to report any causes for concern to the Designated
Safeguarding Lead or one of the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads. Concerns are usually shared
with parents/carers as early as possible. On many occasions, there are very reasonable explanations
for the concern. Concerns may include issues such as children being visibly upset, persistent lateness
and children ‘disclosing’ concerns.
On very rare occasions, our concern about a child may mean that we have to consult other agencies
even before we contact you. The procedures are in line with the Royal Borough of Greenwich
Safeguarding Children’s Board. The school has adopted a Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, in
line with the recommendations of Protecting Children in Education Settings
