Sexual Harassment and Sexual Abuse in Schools
Sexual harassment and sexual abuse in any form is unacceptable.
If you are a student and think you are the victim of sexual harassment or sexual abuse, or if you think you have witnessed this, we are here to help you. You can either;
- speak to a member of staff, or
- email our student welfare team on concern@montsaye.pfschools.org.uk
Please remember that any staff member that you speak to cannot promise confidentiality. They will listen to you and then pass information on to a member of our student welfare team.
A dedicated helpline is now open to support anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse.
The helpline is run by the NSPCC and will provide victims of abuse with the appropriate support, advice and onward action, including on contacting professionals or the police if they wish. The helpline will also provide support to parents and professionals too.
Telephone 0800 136 663, or email help@nspcc.org.uk.
