Policies and safeguarding
Safeguarding
The welfare of children and young people is our highest priority.
Emergency contacts
If a child or young person is at immediate risk of harm, contact 999.
If you believe a child requires urgent protection, you should also contact your local Children's Social Care team without delay.
Whistleblowing
If you have concerns about safeguarding practice within OpenGate Education and feel unable to raise them through normal channels, please contact our safeguarding lead or seek independent advice through the NSPCC Whistleblowing Advice Line: 0800 028 0285.

- Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), the Department for Education's statutory safeguarding guidance for education providers.
- Working Together to Safeguard Children, the statutory guidance setting out how agencies should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
