If you are a pupil or an ex-pupil at Rosehill and you need urgent help or support, you can contact the services below

 

Immediate risk or danger

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services, such as the police.  

  • Telephone: 999 
    Textphone users: 18000 
  • You can find out more about contacting the police here: POLICE UK

 

Urgent medical attention

If you or someone you know needs urgent medical attention, you can: 

  • Call 999 if there is an immediate risk of harm
  • Go to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department of any hospital or make an emergency GP appointment
  • If you live in England, call the NHS non-emergency line on 111 if medical advice is needed. You can also access advice online at: NHS 111 online   

Safeguarding concerns 

If you or someone you know may be at risk of abuse or neglect, you can:

  • Call 999 if there is an immediate risk of harm.
  • Call NSPCC on 0808 800 5000. If you are worried that a child may be at risk of harm, the NSPCC can offer support and advice. 

The Pegasus System

The Pegasus system was developed by Chris Channon MBE, a former Paralympian who has cerebral palsy. It is aimed at those whose disability or illness makes it difficult for them to communicate when calling or speaking face to face. It’s designed to make it easier to contact the police quickly and easily. It’s a secure database which contains details registered by an individual. They only have to say ‘Pegasus’ and give their pin or show their Pegasus card to an officer.

 

Safeguarding in the curriculum 

Our wider broad and balanced curriculum provides the opportunity for all pupils to experience life in all its diversity, to acquire knowledge, understanding, and skills that impact personal development, behaviour, and welfare, and equips every child with the knowledge and skills required for personal safeguarding.

This is also underpinned by our PSHE curriculum.
