Safeguarding at Prospect House
At Prospect House, we will strive to make sure all our students are safe in school, at home, online and in the community. Our staff are here to keep everyone safe and promote personal safety and well-being.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Concerns must be reported to the Designated Leads for Safeguarding.
Robin Anthony | Designated Safeguarding Lead | |
Tracy Gallier | Designated Safeguarding Lead | |
Millie Gleeson | Safeguarding Team | |
Bernice Kostick | Governor with Safeguarding Responsibility |
Should you have any concerns, you can contact a member of the school safeguarding team on:

Prospect House is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Safeguarding Policy which can be viewed below.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies, when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first, unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.
To promote a safe environment for students, Prospect House employs a strict selection and recruitment policy which includes all statutory checks on staff and regular volunteers including Enhanced DBS (disclosure and barring service) checks.
All staff are trained to a level appropriate to their safeguarding responsibilities ranging from basic awareness for all, to Level 3 for key staff. Other safeguarding training is attended by relevant staff and governors. The training is monitored, and comprehensive records kept by the DSL.
We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.
