A 'telling' School
The staff at Yorkmead are committed to protecting the children at our school and we are keen to support your efforts as parents, to protect your children.

Over the past few years, there has been a much greater awareness about what can happen if children are not protected properly.  Every day there are examples of children being hurt, neglected, or mistreated.  These incidents have made us all much more aware of the need to encourage children to take care of themselves, to make the right decision in difficult circumstances and to tell someone if they are worried, or are being hurt, or mistreated.

Mrs Dunnico is our named Child Protection person at school and we work very closely with other agencies like the Health Authority and Social Services, who share our commitment to protecting children.  The people in these agencies include health visitors, school nurses, social workers, doctors and housing officers.

All adults who work at Yorkmead will report any concerns to the named child protection officer who will take further action if they consider it necessary.

Our first concern is your child’s welfare and there may be occasions therefore when we may need to consult other agencies even before we contact you.  The procedures we have to follow have been laid down by the Birmingham Area Child Protection Committee.
