Staying safe (support for children)

Staying safe (support for children)

If someone is hurting you, doing things to you against your will or being mean to you, tell someone: your parents, your friends, trusted teachers or other staff at school. You should also tell someone if you’re worried about someone else (another child you know, or even an adult). When we’re talking about bullying, don’t forget what STOP means in our school:

  • the definitionSeveral Times OPurpose
  • the solutionStart Telling Other People

At our school, the staff with special training to help you to be safe are: Miss McFarland, Mrs Banks, and Mrs Smith alongside Mr Sutton and Mrs Scott-South, who make sure that everyone in school is safe. 

You don’t have to speak to those members of staff – any adult in school will be able to help you.

Alternatively, you can fill in this form in and someone will get back to you:
