Child protection means to protect all young people from harm. It is the responsibility of every adult to do all we can to ensure the safety of our pupils in Drumchapel High School. You may have concerns because of any of the following:

What do you do if you have any Child Protection concerns?

• When in school, you can speak with any trusted adult in relation to your Child Protection concerns. This can be your Pastoral Care Teacher.
• All adults have a duty of care to pass this information on to our Child Protection Co-ordinator. This is Mr McClement. If he is not available, it will be Ms Baker.
• Should a pupil have a concern out with school hours, they can contact their Pastoral Care teacher or a partner using the QR codes below. Staff will then see the young person when they are available in school.

If your concern is urgent, and you are not in school, please contact Health and Social Care Connect by phoning 0141 287 0555 if this is during the hours of 9am and 5pm. Out with office hours you can phone Glasgow and Partners Emergency Social Work Services on 0300 343 1505. You can also phone Scottish Police non-emergency on 101.

The following leaflet has been developed to give more information about Child Protection, but also supports for Mental Health for young people and parents.
