At More House School, we are committed to safeguarding the welfare of all our students. We have a number of resources available to support you, whether you are a student, parent, or staff member.

What is a safeguarding concern?

A safeguarding concern is anything that makes you think a child or young person may be at risk of harm. This could include:

  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Neglect
  • Bullying
  • Exploitation

If you are a student:

  • If you have any concerns about your own safety or the safety of someone else, please speak to a trusted adult at school, such as your teacher, tutor, or head of key stage.
  • You can also contact the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mr M Keeley, at mkeeley@morehousemail.org.uk
  • If you need to talk to someone outside of school, you can contact the NSPCC helpline on 0800 1111.
