What should I do if I have a safeguarding concern? 

Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility. If you believe a student at Parkwood is at risk of abuse YOU MUST report it. Please call (01535 603832) or email the school (office@parkwood.bradford.sch.uk) and ask to speak to a member of the safeguarding team.

Whistleblowing procedures 

Any concerns about inappropriate conduct in school by members of staff or visitors must be taken to the Head of Academy or a member of the Safeguarding team immediately. If you do not feel you can take your concern to those people, please either:

The Chief Executive Officer or the Chair of Trustees via NSAT Business Centre, Gargrave Road, Skipton, BD23 1QN, or by emailing governance@nsat.org.uk

Free confidential advice about whistleblowing can also be obtained from Protect.
