Pupil Help and Welfare
Are you worried about something and want to report it?
Please email Mrs Redmond - Designated Safeguard Lead.

Your worries or concerns can be about yourself or someone else. It might be related to bullying, health, safety, crime, cyber-bullying, online safety or anything which worries you and it doesn't have to relate directly to school.
You can do this anonymously, you don't have to give your name or details if you don't want to. However, if you want help and support then it is best to do so.
You can also speak directly to any member of staff at school if you feel comfortable to do so. However, using this email service allows you to do so from home and in a way that no one else needs to know you have reported a problem, worry or concern. All messages will be dealt with in the same way that we would if you told us about a problem in school. Staff will handle it with sensitivity and may need to refer any issues which are of real concern about someone's safety.
It is really important to tell someone about any worries or concerns that you have and we are here to help.
