Safeguarding
Whilst the school is closed we remain dedicated to safeguarding all of our children. If you have any concerns please contact us:
We will be running an e-safety poster competition. Details are in the learning section of the website.
There are a number of useful websites for you to access if you have any concerns:
Childline is yours – a free, private and confidential service where you can be you. Whatever your worry, whenever you need help, however you want to get in touch. We're here for you online, on the phone, anytime.
Do you need confidential advice and support from a School Nurse? Then contact our text messaging service for 13-19 year olds on 07480 635060.
ChatHealth is an easy way for young people to confidentially seek help about a range of issues, make an appointment with a school nurse, or find out how to access other local services including emotional support or sexual health services.
COUNTY LINES
County Lines is a very serious issue where criminal gangs set up a drug dealing operation in a place outside their usual operating area. Gangs will move their drug dealing from big cities (e.g. London, Manchester, Liverpool etc.) to smaller towns in order to make more money. This can have a really big effect on the community who live there and bring with it serious criminal behaviour.
