Safeguarding

How Northstar approaches safeguarding information and concerns raised through the website.

Last reviewed 11 September 2026

Safeguarding comes first

Northstar is committed to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. The public website should never be used as an emergency-reporting channel.

Raising a concern

Safeguarding concerns should be sent through the school’s approved safeguarding route or reported directly to the designated safeguarding lead. In an immediate emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service.

Images and personal information

Staff publishing content should use only authorised photographs and should avoid exposing unnecessary personal details about students.

Online services

Portal access, messages and school records are restricted to authorised users and reviewed regularly. Current safeguarding contacts and reporting procedures are available from the school office and safeguarding team.
