As well as our fantastic relationships with our pupils, parents and carers and governors, we also work within a wider extended team.
Multi-agency working is key to effective safeguarding and child protection. Here at William Stockton we have long term well established links that enable us to work together as a multi disciplinary team to promote and enhance the safety and wellbeing of children and families.
