Parents & Carers: Report Concerns
At Co-op Academy North Manchester we want to create a culture where pupils are confident to ask for help and support when they need it.
If a pupil is concerned that they or someone they know might be at immediate risk of harm, they must tell a member of staff as soon as they can. They can approach any member of staff in the academy and share this information with them. It could be a teacher, a pastoral manager, a kitchen assistant, an office assistant or a cleaner.
All members of staff in the academy know the correct procedure to follow to keep everyone safe.
If you are worried about your own child then please call the academy and ask to speak with our safeguarding team. You can contact us by:

Our Responsibility
Staff at the academy have a responsibility to every pupil who raises a safeguarding concern. At Co-op Academy North Manchester, a pupil rasing a concern should:
- be reassured that they are being taken seriously;
- be supported and kept safe;
- never be given the impression that they are creating a problem by reporting an incident;
- never be made to feel ashamed for making a report;
- be told what will happen next and who the information will be shared with.
We can never promise to keep a secret. We can do all we can to only share the information with those who need to know.
