Safeguarding
We all have a statutory duty to ‘safeguard and promote the welfare of children’.
If you have any concerns about the health and safety of a child at this setting or feel that something may be troubling them, you should share this information with an appropriate member of staff straight away. Some issues, for example, a child’s appearance, hygiene or general behaviour can be shared with any teacher or member of support staff here.
Do not worry that you may be reporting small matters; we would rather that you tell us things which turn out to be small than miss a worrying situation.
However, if you think the matter is very serious and maybe related to a child protection concern, for example, physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect, you must talk to the people below immediately.
Please contact one of the people through the main office, asking them to contact a member of the Child Protection team about a confidential and urgent matter.
If you have any concerns about a child out of school hours or during school holidays, please contact the Sheffield Safeguarding Children Board (SSCB) for advice and support for the child. Delaying passing on information could have serious consequences for a child.
Any allegation or disclosure involving a member of staff a child’s foster carer, or a volunteer at the Academy must be reported directly to the Principal, unless it involves the Principal, and then it should be reported directly to the Chair of the Governing Body.
The people you should talk to at the Academy are:
| Mrs J Bradley | Child Protection Liaison Officer | |
| Mrs S Jones | Deputy Child Protection Liaison Officer | |
| Mrs C Goldsack | The Chair of Governors Contactable via Amanda Cook, Clerk to the Governing Body |
