STUDENT SUPPORT

Our Aim

We are committed to working together to safeguard all children. The safeguarding of our students is our number one concern and central to everything that we do as a school.

 

This page is designed to ensure that you have information and guidance to keep you as safe as possible and have access to the support you need.

 

Sharing concerns

If you are concerned about your safety or wellbeing, or the safety and wellbeing of another young person, you can access support through specialist pastoral staff at school. Our aim is to ensure that all necessary support is available to our students and families.

 

Mrs Tanya Elsworth is the Designated Safeguarding Lead, Ms Jennifer Tomlinson is our Safeguarding and Wellbeing Advisor.

 

Both of these staff are available via email or through the usual school phone number:

Mrs Elsworth 01904 633300, or elswortht@fulford.york.sch.uk

or

Ms Tomlinson 01904 633300, or tomlinsonj@fulford.york.sch.uk

Alternatively, if you are worried about a child or a young person, you could contact the City of York Council’s Children and Young People’s Services through the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH). If your concern is outside of normal office hours, you should contact the emergency duty team.
