Safeguarding
At Christ's College Finchley, we are wholly committed to safeguarding our students so that they are resourceful, resilient and ready to make a valuable contribution to society. Safeguarding is of paramount importance and underpins everything we do at CCF. Our safeguarding team works collaboratively and ensures the highest standard of care is provided for our pupils. All of our staff undergo safeguarding training and this is refreshed and reviewed regularly. The safeguarding team completes additional training in all aspects of safeguarding including Prevent and Early Help.
The safeguarding team consists of the following members of staff:
Mr Mark Hodges - Senior Assistant Headteacher and Designated Safeguard Lead
Dr Ruth Hill - Headteacher
Ms Sarah Pullan - Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
Mrs Debbie Brohan - Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
John Bowra, Naomi Angell and Josie McMorrow - Safeguarding Governors
Should any parent or visitor have concerns about the welfare or safety of any child that attends Christ's College Finchley, they should contact our safeguarding team via info@ccfplus.com or through our dedicated safeguarding email address safe@ccfplus.com.
