Baddow Hall Junior School

At Baddow Hall Junior School, Governors and Staff are committed to:

• Safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
• Promoting equality of opportunity and community cohesion where the diversity of different backgrounds and circumstances is appreciated and positively valued.
• Upholding the fundamental British values of democracy; the rule of law; individual liberty; mutual respect; and tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs.

We expect all members of our school community to share this commitment and for this to be respected by any visitors, volunteers and workers.

For any Safeguarding concerns, please contact the school's Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mr Richard McIntosh, on 01245 472391.

Members of our school community and the public can, if necessary, request support for a child directly:

• If a child or young person is in immediate danger, call 999.
• If you're worried that a child is being abused or neglected, call the Children and Families Hub on 0345 603 7627. This phone line is open Monday to Thursday 9am to 5:30pm, and Fridays 9am to 4:30pm.
• Out of hours or bank holidays, call the emergency duty team on 0345 606 1212.
