Safeguarding & Wellbeing
Safeguarding Support during Term-Time
At Ellis Guilford School we are committed to safeguarding children and young people, and we expect everyone who works in our academy to share this commitment. Adults in our academy take all welfare concerns seriously and encourage children and young people to talk to us about anything that worries them. We will always act in the best interest of the child.
Dear Student
Do you need to talk to someone or tell someone something that you are worried or concerned about?
The Student Voice* gives you a platform to share information about how safe you feel within school and in the local area and the ability to anonymously report concerns that will be actioned and responded to appropriately by our Safeguarding and Pastoral Teams.

Child Criminal Exploitation occurs where an individual or group takes advantage of an imbalance of power to coerce, control, manipulate or deceive a child or young person under the age of 18. The victim may have been criminally exploited even if the activity appears consensual.
Child sexual exploitation is a crime with devastating and long lasting consequences for its victims and their families. Childhoods and family life can be ruined and this is compounded when victims, or those at risk of abuse, do not receive appropriate, immediate and on-going support. The first response to children, and support for them to access help, must be the best it can be from social workers, police, health practitioners and others who work with children and their families..
It’s Not OK helps children and young people recognise concerning behaviour and identify characteristics of positive relationships.
Online safety refers to the act of staying safe online. It is also commonly known as internet safety, e-safety and cyber safety. It encompasses all technological devices which have access to the internet from PCs and laptops to smartphones and tablets. Being safe online means individuals are protecting themselves and others from online harms and risks which may jeopardise their personal information, lead to unsafe communications or even effect their mental health and wellbeing.
