We are committed to ensuring the safeguarding of all the children in our care.

We are required to follow local authority and national guidance and this is reflected in our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy which can be accessed here: 

We work with early help, social services and other agencies to support our families. We access additional advice and support from social services when needed.

If you are worried about the safety of a child, you should talk to someone immediately. The following link takes you to the section of the Gateshead Council website which tells you how to do this in confidence: What to do if you're worried about a child.

We are an Operation Encompass school and receive reports from the police when they have attended an address where children are present. We follow up these reports with families.
