If you have a problem or concern in school or at home you can report it to a member of staff or use the following email: safeguarding@khs.education

When to report?

· You or a friend are being bullied

· You are concerned for a friend’s welfare

· A student, member of staff, or parent has behaved inappropriately

· You need to talk to someone about a problem

· Mental health worries

We want everyone in our school to feel safe, supported, and heard. That’s why we also use Whisper – an anonymous reporting tool that lets students share concerns quickly, securely, and anonymously if needed.

Whisper is a safe and anonymous way for you to report anything that’s worrying you – whether it affects you directly or someone else. It connects directly with our safeguarding team, who will review and respond to every message received.

How It Works

You can send a message using the Whisper link below or text your concern directly to our confidential Whisper number.

You do not need to give your name unless you choose to. All messages are seen only by our safeguarding team. All concerns are taken seriously and treated with respect.

Is It Really Anonymous?

Yes — if you want it to be. Whisper allows you to report something without giving your name, unless you choose to include it. Your message will go straight to the school’s safeguarding tea,, who will take appropriate action

Even if you stay anonymous, we will still investigate and follow up the concern.

If you don’t want to use Whisper, that’s okay. You can also speak to a trusted adult in school.

Remember:

Speaking up is never wrong. Whether you use Whisper or another way to reach out, we’re here to help.

When to report?

• Anytime, though please note that the school safeguarding email and Whisper is not monitored 24/7.
• If you are concerned that you or your friend is in a harmful situation outside of school hours, call Childline on 08001111, as they will be able to give you immediate advice and support. You can then use the Knowl Hill email to let us know what is happening so we can follow up with support from school.
