Safeguarding

Over the summer break if you are concerned at all about any safeguarding matters connected to our community, please contact DSL@orionspires.org.uk  as this will be monitored on a regular basis. Please ensure that you put the word ‘SAFEGUARDING’ in the message title.

Orion Spires takes safeguarding very seriously and is committed to safeguarding and the promotion of the welfare of all children and the prevention of extremism. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
