PROTECTING CHILDREN - A SHARED RESPONSIBIITY
Appendix 8: Sample Pupil Statement of Confidentiality
- If you have something important to talk to staff about
- If you are worried about something that is happening to you, or to someone you know
- If you need help, or if you need to know how to get help
the staff are here to listen and to help - they will try to do what they can.
- If you are worried about telling things in confidence
tell the staff - they will understand. If they are concerned about your safety they may need to share this with others, but they will always tell you first.
- If you are still unsure about talking to a member of staff, you can telephone ChildLine on 0800 1111; the call is free and will not show up on a telephone bill. Childline will help you work out what to do next.
