Keeping Everyone Safe
If you are concerned about the safety or well-being of a child or you find that you and your family need support you are always welcome to make contact with a member of school staff. This page will also help you to access support if you have worries and want to talk to someone. Seeking help is a positive thing to do for yourself, your own family or someone you are worried about.
If you have concerns about a child’s welfare or feel that they may be being abused or neglected, please call the Integrated Access and Referral Team (iART) or the Emergency Duty Team (EDT) for help and advice. Alternatively, you can call the police.
iART: 0300 123 7047
