Links and Further Support

Abuse (physical, sexual, emotional) or neglect can have a damaging effect on a child’s physical and mental health, educational attainment and emotional well-being.  Some changes in a child’s behaviour may not necessarily indicate that a child is suffering abuse or neglect. In some cases those changes may be symptoms of a hidden disability, undiagnosed medical condition or a change in medication.

If you become concerned about:

  • Comments made by a child
  • Marks or bruising on a child
  • Changes in a child’s behaviour
  • Changes in a child’s appearance

Please report these concerns to one of our Safeguarding Leads or click the red reporting button below.

If you are concerned about safety of an activity or any aspect within school, please also report it to one of our Safeguarding Leads or click the red button.

If you have concerns, please do NOT decide to do nothing or leave our school without telling anyone.
