At Forge Valley School we take the safeguarding of our pupils very seriously.
We encourage and guide our pupils to adopt safe practices and live healthy lifestyles.
We all have a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. We have safeguarding policies and systems in place to help their safety, and to ensure a consistent approach to practices throughout the school, followed by all staff. We regularly undertake training, and our policy is reviewed annually and in line with any changes made to Keeping Children Safe in Education, which you can view below.
We are committed to working closely with parents and carers for the benefit of our pupils. We also work with professionals to help families receive any support that they require.
Please be aware that during weekends and school holidays you will not be able to contact the Designated Safeguarding Lead or the Designated Safeguarding Deputies. If you have any concerns about the welfare of a child or young person during these times, please contact the Sheffield Safeguarding Hub on 0114 273 4855 (24-hour service)
If you think a child or a young person is in immediate danger, please call the Police on 999 at any time.
If you are a child or young person and are worried or feel unsafe then you can get help from Childline a free, private and confidential service. You can chat online or on the phone, 0800 1111, any time.
