Safeguarding

If you are concerned about a child’s welfare, please contact Helen Thorpe and provide a detailed record of your concern. She can be contacted via 0115 9744050 or safeguarding@rushcliffespencer.com. Please do not investigate the concern yourself.

Outside of term time, please use the safeguarding email address above which is routinely monitored during school holidays.  Alternatively, if you are concerned that a child is at risk of harm or that a family urgently requires support then please contact MASH (Nottinghamshire Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub) on 0300 500 8080 (member of the public) or 0300 500 8090 (professional) or outside of working hours (08.30am-5.00pm) on 0300 4564546

From time to time, pupil information may be shared with third party agencies where welfare concerns have been raised. These concerns will be shared with the pupil’s parents/carers initially unless their involvement places the child at risk.
