Safeguarding is at the centre of everything we do here at Cherry Tree Academy, and the responsibility of every single member of our school community.

 

The safety of our pupils is of paramount importance. If you have any concerns at all, no matter how small, please contact us. Although we have designated safeguarding staff members, we are all responsible and all here to support our pupils and school community.
If you have safeguarding concerns about a child, please contact Wakefield Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) for consultation and advice on 03458 503 503.

Please remember that if a child is in immediate danger, an emergency call should be made (999 on the telephone).
