Parent and child safeguarding information

This area of our website is designed to help children, parents and carers understand how to stay safe and recognise when they may need to ask for extra support and help.

We know that young people and their families face many challenges including family breakdowns, worries about money, friendship issues, pressures to look and behave in a certain way, stress and anxiety.

School will not pass any judgement if you share a safeguarding concern with us, but if we are worried, we may need to share that information with Bracknell Forest Children’s Social Care.

The information below is designed to help you if you need support.

Remember, there are lots of people, both inside and outside of school, who are able to support you if you are facing any difficulties, no matter how small they may seem.

If you are worried about yourself, your child or have any other safeguarding concerns, please contact the school or use the contact form below which will reach a member of the safeguarding team:
