SAFEGUARDING INFORMATION
In the event that you have any safeguarding concerns about a child's welfare or you are worried about a child who you think may be at risk of significant harm or injury, please report your concerns to:
Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH): 0300 4560 108

If the child is at immediate risk, dial 999 and ask for police assistance.
What is Safeguarding?
Safeguarding can be defined by promoting the health, safety, and welfare of all pupils. We invite all parents/carers and pupils to regularly check the Safeguarding page on our website so they are aware of the different avenues of support available in helping to keep children safe.
Key Staff
- Designated Safeguarding Lead: Mr C. Bartel
- Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads: Mr O. Ford, Miss D. Brignall, Mrs L. Rose & Mrs E. Oakley
Contacts
These email addresses are monitored during term time and can be used to quickly notify the school of safeguarding and bullying concerns:
- safeguarding@sjcs.org.uk - safeguarding concerns
- stop@sjcs.org.uk - incidents of bullying
All pupils have been informed that they should speak with their ‘go to’ person (i.e. their Form tutor) or a member of staff they trust if they have any concerns about the safety of themselves or a fellow pupil.
