An annual report, written for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, that reads the public record for the environment around this school and says what it means in the language of Keeping Children Safe in Education and contextual safeguarding.

The recorded picture at the gate comes from UK Crime Statistics, our sister service; the rest is evidence a crime map does not carry.

- Exploitation indicators. The public signals of criminal and sexual exploitation in the area, and what a DSL can and cannot read into them.
- Places and routes where risk sits. Parks, shops, transport stops and underpasses on the way in, drawn from the data rather than from reputation.
- Road danger at the gate. Collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists on the surrounding roads, with what a School Street request needs.
- Air quality and catchment deprivation. The neighbourhood statistics that shape the context, printed with their limits.
