Pupil Wellbeing Co-ordinator/Deputy Designated Lead

My name is Deborah Wright, and I am the Pupil Well-Being Coordinator and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) here at Avondale Primary School.

At our school, we believe that children can only achieve their full potential when they feel safe, valued, and supported. My role is dedicated to ensuring that every pupil has access to the emotional, social, and mental health support they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. Whether a child is facing a temporary hurdle, dealing with anxiety, or simply needs a trusted adult to talk to, my door is always open.

I work closely with staff, parents, and external agencies to ensure that our safeguarding practices are robust and that every child is protected from harm.

 

A child’s well-being is a partnership between home and school. If you ever have any questions, or concerns about your child’s emotional well-being, or a safeguarding matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
