Safeguarding: Staying Safe and Supported

At St Margaret’s Church of England Academy, your safety and well-being are our top priority. If you ever feel worried, unsafe, or need support, there are people and resources available to help you. Below, you’ll find links to services and organisations that can provide advice and support.

But your first step might be to talk to someone at school. You can talk to any trusted adult in school. Whether it’s your form tutor, head of year, or one of the safeguarding team, we’re here to help you with anything that’s worrying you.

You’re never alone, and there’s always someone ready to listen.
