Safeguarding
Families in hardship and needing wider support please note the following:
Norfolk County Council is offering support through the Norfolk Assistance Schemes (NAS) which may be able to provide support for food, fuel, clothes and other essential household items to families experiencing hardship.
Wider support from a range of partners can then also be made available with NAS working alongside the Children’s Services Community and Partnerships service. Families may get in touch with NAS via their dedicated website which includes an online application form on the Norfolk County Council Website www.norfolk.gov.uk/neo or if you cannot access the internet, then call 0344 800 8020.
The Academy is committed to the vital contribution all Governors and staff can make to safeguarding children. We will strive to make sure that every student in the academy feels secure, well cared for and able to reach their full potential.
We will ensure all our own staff, other professionals, parents/carers and students work together to know the rules about keeping children safe. They will understand the importance of following procedures and listening to each other, especially when there are concerns about safety.
The academy will work hard to reduce all the kinds of harm that children can suffer, including abuse, bullying, discrimination and avoidable injuries.
If you are concerned about the safety and welfare of a student or need help and advice yourself please use the form below to contact Mrs Huggins (Safeguarding Manager).
