What is the Children and Families HUB?
The Children and Families HUB (HUB) provides information, advice and support for families and young people. It aims to help families get the right help at the right time and provide signposts and access to any support services that can help.
The HUB also responds to any safeguarding concerns and is the process for referring safeguarding concerns to a multi-agency team.
What do you do if you are concerned about a child at school?
- Tell a member of staff. Either Mrs Ward or, if there is a member of staff that you are more comfortable talking to then please contact them and they will pass the information on.
- Do not panic and do not keep information to yourself
- If you feel the child is at immediate risk, you can make a HUB referral on 519000 or inform the police.
What happens if a child makes a disclosure of abuse?
If a child is at serious risk of harm then the school will contact HUB with an enquiry
- The incident and risk is passed to the relevant agency to deal with the risk and support the child and family to reduce this.
