Contact numbers for Family Connect
If school is closed and you are worried about any child and think they may be a victim of neglect, abuse or cruelty, contact Family Connect on 01926 414144. Offices are open from: Monday to Thursday: 8.30am-5.30pm Friday: 8.30am – 5.00pm If it is outside of these times phone: Emergency Duty Team 01926 886922. WEBSITE
When phoning, say that you have concerns about a child that you would like to discuss and you will be put through to the appropriate person. In an emergency contact the Police by ringing 999.
Our core safeguarding principles are:
- The School’s responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children is of paramount importance.
- Children who are safe and feel safe are better equipped to learn.
- The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Representatives of the whole school community of students, parents, staff volunteers and governors will therefore be involved in policy development and review.
- If, at any point, there is a risk of immediate serious harm to a child a referral will be made to Children’s Social Care immediately. Anybody can make a referral. If the child’s situation does not appear to be improving, any staff member with concerns should press for re-consideration. Concerns should always lead to help for the child at some stage.
- All staff members will maintain an attitude of ‘It could happen here’ where safeguarding is concerned. When concerned about the welfare of a child, staff members should always act in the interests of the child.
If anything worries you or concerns you, report it straight away
