Please see our Documents & Policy Page for our Safeguarding Policy.

At Manorside Academy, we aim to provide a safe, supportive and inclusive environment, which secures the well-being and very best outcomes for the children in our care. We have a duty of care to safeguard and promote the well-being of children. We take this responsibility seriously and as such, we have clear systems and procedures in place to ensure that no child should suffer from harm, at home or at school. All staff have a statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

All staff are expected to adhere to our safeguarding procedures and guidance at all times.

The Designated Member of Staff for Child Protection may refer the matter to Social Care, the Police or other agencies, as all adults who come into contact with children at Manorside Academy have a duty of care to safeguard and promote their welfare.

Preventing unsuitable people from working with children and young people is essential to keeping children safe, therefore we conduct rigorous selection and recruitment of staff and volunteers in accordance with the Safer Recruitment practice guidelines. There may be occasions when parents, carers or neighbours become concerned about the safety of a child who attends Manorside Academy.  If you are concerned that a child is not safe then please ensure that you report your concerns to one of the above mentioned members of staff.

Please provide as much detail as possible about the concern such as…

• Child’s full name (if known)
• Date of Birth for the child (if known)
• Details of the concern

Alternatively, please phone the school on 01202 380103 and ask to speak to a member of staff about a child protection matter. Should you wish to remain anonymous please put your concern in writing and address it to:
