Advice for Parents

We are committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, supported and protected - both in school and beyond. We know that keeping children safe is a shared responsibility between school and home, and we want to provide families with the tools and knowledge to help safeguard their children in all areas of life.

Below you will find a selection of trusted organisations and resources covering key safeguarding topics, including online safety, mental health and well-being, anti-bullying, drugs and alcohol, knives and weapons and exploitation awareness.

These organisations offer expert advice, practical tips, and support to help parents navigate challenges and keep children safe in an ever-changing world. 

We encourage all parents to explore these resources and reach out to us if you have any concerns or need further guidance. Together, we can create a secure and supportive environment for every child to thrive.
