At Redhill Primary Academy, the protection of children is the responsibility of everyone. We aim to make all within the school feel safe and we have clear roles and responsibilities in place for that to happen. For further details regarding Safeguarding, see the school's policy below.
If you have a concern about the welfare of a child you will need to contact Family Connect on 01952 385385 to speak to a Family Connect Safeguarding Advisor. Family Connect Advisors are available between 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).

Early Help is what our school can offer to help you and your family.
There are many reasons why a family may benefit from Early Help support - we are not here to judge you or tell you what to do.
