Safeguarding

Should you be concerned about the safety or well-being of a child, this advice should help you to make the right decisions.

If you feel a child is in urgent need of help you should contact Nottinghamshire Police 999.

In school hours, please speak to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads who have responsibility for Child Protection.

Mrs Emily Brown (Head Teacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead)

Mrs Joanne Richardson (Senior Teacher and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead)

In the unlikely event that you cannot contact any of the DSLs above, please contact school as and to speak with the Chair of Governors regarding a safeguarding issue. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence.

A copy of the school's Safeguarding/Child Protection policy is available under the Policy Section of the website.

The MASH is a partnership between Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottinghamshire NHS health services, Nottinghamshire Police and the Probation Service working together to safeguard children, young people and vulnerable adults.

What does the MASH do?

When a professional, family member or member of the public is concerned about a child or young person’s welfare or safety, they can contact us so we can look into it. This is called reporting a safeguarding concern. For more details, please download the following document.

Support for Victims of Sexual Violence and Abuse The government acknowledges that recent measures announced to tackle coronavirus (COVID-19), such as the order to stay at home, can cause anxiety and other mental health challenges for those who have experienced sexual violence and abuse, and worsen the suffering of those who are currently experiencing or feel at risk of sexual violence and abuse. Sexual violence and abuse is unacceptable in any situation, no matter what stresses an individual is under. For anyone who feels they are at risk of sexual violence or abuse, or is experiencing heightened mental health issues because of having previously survived sexual violence and abuse in the past, it is important to remember that there is help and support available to you. Support is also available to help perpetrators change their behaviour. The government supports and funds a number of charities who are able to provide support and advice and we are in regular contact with the charity sector and the police to ensure that these support services remain open during this challenging time.
