At Southmoor Academy we take your welfare very seriously. Although talking face-to-face is a really good way of working through any issues, we know sometimes it can be hard.

The Staying  Safe at Southmoor forms below –  allow you to submit a personal problem or worry that you may be struggling to talk about face-to-face.

Sometimes you want to report something to a teacher about a friend or something you may have seen/witnessed, but again you can find it hard to do this face-to-face. Our Staying Safe forms allow you to make a report.

Remember, you can speak with any adult inside of school about anything you may be worried about at anytime if you need to.

You can find out more about the ways in which we can support you here.
