Domestic Violence and Abuse Notification Project
Our school is part of a project that runs jointly between Leeds schools and West Yorkshire Police. The project supports children who live in households where there are incidents of domestic violence and abuse.
We know that children can be physically or emotionally hurt by being either present in the house or directly witnessing an incident of domestic violence.
The Domestic Violence and Abuse Notification Project has been designed to provide confidential notification to schools on any incident of domestic violence and abuse which occur within a child’s household as this will have an impact on the child.
As the Designated Safeguarding Lead and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mrs Geldard and Mrs Collier will use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to ensure that the school is able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in or witnessed a domestic violence or abuse incident.
More information about the Domestic Violence and Abuse Notification Project can be found on the website for the Leeds Safeguarding Children Partnership.

We are keen to offer the best support possible to our children. If you would like further support or information about Domestic violence or abuse, please go to www.leedsdomesticviolenceandabuse.co.uk
