Our Safeguarding Team 23/24
How Referrals work
1. You report your concern to a member of the team
2. They will consult with Matt Atkinson (if not directly referred to him)
3. The following three steps are then decided upon: -
- Step One = No referral to Social Care but school may open an early help intervention
- Step Two = Referral is made to Social Care and they make a decision in one day whether it proceeds further
- Step Three = If a child is in immediate danger we contact the police
4. A member of the team will let you know the outcome of your referral when appropriate
5. If you are not happy with the outcome having referred a child please consult with Matt Atkinson who will then advise about contacting the NSPCC Whistleblowing hotline on 0800 028 0285
