The Flying Bull Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people. We expect all staff and volunteers to uphold this commitment. As part of our statutory duty, we must report any concerns that may indicate a child is at risk of harm to the appropriate authorities. In certain situations, this may be done without parental consent or prior notification.

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) are Berni Davies (LAPS Team Leader), Nicola Buchan (DHT, Inclusion Centre) and Grace Brown (Headteacher)

Safeguarding Lead for University of Chichester Academy Trust Natalie Broad

Our Deputy Safeguarding Leads are Holly Hanson (SENCO) and Mary McKenzie (DHT, mainstream)
