If You Are Worried

There are a number of ways by which you can report a concern about a child in our school.

You can:
  • Speak with your child’s class teacher or another member of staff when you drop-off or collect from school.
  • Phone and ask to speak with a member of the Senior Leadership Team or a Designated Lead for Safeguarding on 01483 598956
  • Email the DSL team at dsl@weyfield-tkat.org and someone will get back to you.
The following options are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, if your concern needs a response outside of school working hours:
  • If you feel someone is at immediate risk of significant harm please contact the Police on 999.
  • If you have non-urgent information, related to the wider community please contact the Police on 101.
  • f you are a child or young person you can speak with Childline on 0800 1111
  • If you are an adult worried about a child you can speak to a trained helpline counsellor with the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
  • If you are a professional concerned about a child in the workplace you can speak to an NSPCC trained practitioner via their Whistleblowing Advice line on 0800 028 0285
