If you are worried about anything, or feel unsafe, it is always better to talk to someone. In Sir Thomas Wharton Academy, any adult will listen to your concerns and take you seriously. They might then decide to speak to a member of the pastoral or safeguarding team to make sure you get the right help.

In Sir Thomas Wharton Academy we work with a lot of organisations external to school and we might ask them to get involved.  We can’t promise not to tell anyone about your concerns, but we will tell you what steps we are planning to take to help you feel safe.

You can also report any concerns using the Academy’s SOS/Talk Button.

If you don’t feel ready to speak to a known adult, you can contact the following organisations free of charge at any time of the day or night:

You can also sign up to Kooth for confidential emotional wellbeing and mental health support:
