Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility

REPORT SAFEGUARDING CONCERNS 

If you are worried about a child, it’s vital you report your concerns. Doing nothing is not an option. It’s also important you stay calm, and if any child is present, reassure them they are not to blame. But don’t make promises of confidentiality or outcome.
