Safeguarding at Malvern Wells

At Malvern Wells, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. We want every child to feel safe, known and listened to. We work with children, families and other professionals to identify concerns early and provide appropriate support.

Worried about a child?

Please telephone 01684 561179 and ask to speak to a member of the safeguarding team. You can also speak to us in person.

Share concerns promptly, even if you are unsure. You do not need to investigate or have proof before raising a concern.

If a child is in immediate danger, call 999.

Helping children stay safe

Through our teaching and everyday relationships, we help children understand safe relationships, recognise concerns and know how to seek help, including when using technology. We encourage children to speak to a trusted adult whenever something worries them.
