Getting Help/Reporting a Concern

At Acklam Grange, the safety, health and well-being of every member of our community is our paramount concern.

We have a culture of vigilance, which is underpinned by clear procedures and robust staff training to ensure that safeguarding is a priority for all.

We aim to work in partnership with you to ensure your child achieves their full potential and makes a positive contribution. In doing so, we will promote and protect the safety and physical, emotional, social and mental health of all.

The procedures that we follow have been laid down by the South Tees Safeguarding Children Partnership, and the school has adopted a Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy in line with this for the safety of all.
