Safeguarding, Fishponds Church of England Academy

Worried about a child?

If you have any worries about the safety of a child, it is important you know who to share them with and what to do: together we are all responsible for the care and welfare of children.

Are you a parent who needs support with a difficult issue, from your child’s behaviour to a problem related to domestic violence?
Are you a young person who needs to talk to someone about things that are worrying you?
Do you have concerns about the safety or well-being of another child or think they are at risk of abuse or neglect?

You have two options...

1 - Speak to our Designated Officers for the Safeguarding of children.

At Fishponds CE Primary School, these people are Michelle Omoboni, Michelle Cahill, Deion Smith and Jacqui Noble.

If you prefer, you can discuss your worries with your child's class teacher who will be able to talk things through informally, or support you with what to do next.

If you would like to discuss anything which is of a concern, however small, please call into school to speak to us, or contact us by telephone or email.

2 - Contact First Response

You can phone the Bristol team on 0117 903 6444 to make a named or anonymous referral or discuss your concerns about a child. If you are concerned about a child that is not yours you should also contact First Response Bristol.

First Response Bristol gives the right help, in the right place, at the right time. See the attached flyer for more information about the support available through First Response.
