At More House School, we are committed to safeguarding the welfare of all our students. We have a number of resources available to support you, whether you are a student, parent, or staff member.
What is a safeguarding concern?
A safeguarding concern is anything that makes you think a child or young person may be at risk of harm. This could include:
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Emotional abuse
- Neglect
- Bullying
- Exploitation
If you are a student:
- If you have any concerns about your own safety or the safety of someone else, please speak to a trusted adult at school, such as your teacher, tutor, or head of key stage.
- You can also contact the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead, Ms C Phelps, at cphelps@morehousemail.org.uk.
- If you need to talk to someone outside of school, you can contact the NSPCC helpline on 0800 1111.
