If You Are Worried


There are a number of ways by which you can report a concern about a child in our school. You can:

  • Speak with your child’s class teacher or another member of staff when you drop-off or collect from school.
  • Phone and ask to speak with a member of the Senior Leadership Team or a Designated Lead for Safeguarding on 01293 533198.
  • Email the school office on office@seymour-tkat.org

The following options are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, if your concern needs a response outside of school working hours:

  • If you feel someone is at immediate risk of significant harm please contact the Police on 999.
  • If you have non-urgent information, related to the wider community please contact the Police on 101.
  • If your concern is specific to a child or young person please phone 01403 229900 or email  WSChildrenServices@westsussex.gov.uk.

  • If you are a professional concerned about a child in the workplace you can speak to an NSPCC trained practitioner via their Whistleblowing Advice line on 0800 028 0285.
