What to do if you are concerned about a child?

If you have any concerns with regards to safeguarding then please speak with any member of staff in school who you feel you could confide in. 

Please remember that all our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) are always available to talk and support where possible. You can contact them by emailing or phoning the office who will arrange for you to speak with the requested adult. 

Please remember that we always have DSLs outside at the beginning and end of every day who will also help you.
