Safeguarding

At Brookfield, we recognise our moral and statutory responsibly to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. We make every effort to provide a safe and welcoming environment underpinned by a culture of openness where both children and adults feel secure.

We will educate and encourage our students to keep safe through:

• The content of the curriculum
• A school ethos which helps children to feel safe and able to talk freely about their concerns, believing that they will be listened to and valued.

Brookfield has a team of qualified Designated Safeguarding Leads who can support students and work with their families. Contact details for Safeguarding staff:

Please contact our school's Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCOs) if you have any queries regarding the School's SEN arrangements: sen@brookfield.hants.sch.uk

From time-to-time parents, carers or neighbours may become concerned about the safety of a child who attends Brookfield Community School.

If you are concerned that a child may not be safe, please contact the School on 01489 576335 and ask to speak to one of the Safeguarding Leads. 

If you have serious concerns because you think that a child might be being abused (physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or neglect) you should contact the Children’s Services Department at Hampshire County Council: 

* During office hours (8.30am to 5.00pm) you should contact Children’s Services either by phone on 0300 555 1384 or email childrens.services@hants.gov.uk

* At all other times you should contact the Out of Hours Service: 0300 555 1373.

For all emergency situations please call 999.
