To speak with a Safeguarding officer regarding a concern please contact the school office on 01733 263342. If you think a child is in immediate risk of harm please call 999 police.
Safeguarding concerns must be shared without delay with a designated safeguarding member of staff. If a designated person is not available, in an emergency or if you are not happy with the schools action advice from the police or Children’s Social Care must be sought.
- If you have suspicions or concerns for a child’s welfare you should always report this to the appropriate service such as the Police or Children’s social care.
- If you feel uncomfortable in doing so, please remember that children have a right to be safe.
- Usually gut feelings are correct and if they are unfounded, it doesn't matter.
- Reporting concerns can cause people anxiety but please remember we are doing the right thing to protect our children and get support if they need it.
