If You Are Worried

Abuse (physical, sexual, emotional) or neglect can have a damaging effect on a child’s physical and mental health, educational attainment and emotional well-being.  Some changes in a child’s behaviour may not necessarily indicate that a child is suffering abuse or neglect. In some cases those changes may be symptoms of a hidden disability, undiagnosed medical condition or a change in medication.

If you become concerned about:

• Comments made by a child
• Marks or bruising on a child
• Changes in a child’s behaviour
• Changes in a child’s appearance

There are a number of ways by which you can report a concern about a child in our school. You can:

Phone and ask to speak with a member of our Safeguarding Team on:

0208 300 7112

Directly email the Designated Safeguarding Team via:

dsl@kemnal-tkat.org

Email the school office on:

admin@kemnal-tkat.org

Report it via the Google Form below:
