Safeguarding

Oaktree Education Services are committed to ensuring that every child feels safe and well-cared for. We work hard to provide a secure school environment for learners, staff, parents/ carers and visitors.

OES takes pupil welfare and safety very seriously, and takes action to reduce all kinds of harm including: abuse, bullying, discrimination and avoidable injuries. We also promote a culture where children and adults feel confident to share their concerns about their own or others’ safety and wellbeing.

OES safeguarding lead is Nathan Lynch; nlynch@oaktreeeducation.co.uk

If you are concerned about the immediate safety or well-being of a pupil, please call 999.


At OES we use CPOMS (Child Protection Online Monitoring System) to log concerns, record chronological events and to action outcomes from disclosures. The system is managed by the company DSLs. CPOMS integrates with Arbor (our behaviour logging system) to ensure that all pertinent information related to children is recorded.
