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 01293 571893
• Email the school office on office@themill-tkat.org

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.
• If your concern is specific to a child or young person please phone 01403 229900 or email  WSChildrenServices@westsussex.gov.uk
• If 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

If you have shared a concern with someone listed above other than the school, please inform a member of the School Safeguarding team as soon as possible.
