Safeguarding Concern

If you are a parent/carer, external agency or current student and you have any concerns regarding students at our Academy, or concerning yourself, please visit the link:

https://form.thesafeguardingcompany.com/a54daea9-fb82-4c20-8d4f-e6b62f1b9342

Please complete this form if you are worried about yourself, a friend or someone else and would like help or support. When we receive this information we will look into the concerns and do our best to make sure that the right support is offered. You do not have to tell us who you are, but if you feel able to share that information, it will enable us to get back to you with any questions. We will also be able to update you, so you know we are working on trying to keep this child safe.

If we think a child could be at risk, we have a duty to share the information that you give us with other agencies, but we will respect your wishes to remain anonymous.

This form will be sent to deborah.holter@bexhillacademy.org, the designated safeguarding lead at Bexhill Academy:

Email: DSL@bexhillacademy.org Phone: 01424735469

Remember:

If possible, we would always prefer you to speak directly to a member of staff if you would like to share a concern, as many of you do.
If using MyVoice we would like you to include your name when reporting a concern (although you do not have to do so). You must report the name of the person you are concerned about.
If you don’t wish to share your details, we cannot feedback to you what action has been taken to address your concern in instance when it may have been appropriate for us to do so.
This is NOT a place for reporting concerns about a member of staff. These must be reported directly to the Headteacher
This is NOT a forum through which to complain, please use Academy processes to share these with us.
Parents/Carers and members of the local community can also share their safeguarding concerns through MyVoice.

Any abuse of this system will not be tolerated and in the event that concerns are reported that are deliberately false or malicious, we will refer to Police as this behaviour may be considered a crime.

All students remain subject to the Academy’s Behaviour Policy and concerns about the misuse of MYVOICE may result in sanctions.
