Safeguarding & Safety

Family Help Offer

We will provide staff and volunteers with guidance to follow when they suspect a child may be experiencing abuse or is at risk of harm. We will work co-operatively with other agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with parents/carers first—unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare.

NHS Early Help

At our school, we recognise the challenges that many of our families face when bringing up children. There may be times when you need extra help and support, whether that is a friendly ear or practical solutions. The Early Help Offer lists some of the ways in which St Bartholomew’s can help, and also provides parents with contact details for the many service providers in Worcestershire who may be of assistance.
