Keep Safe @ Academy 360 - The Big Red Button

Although talking face-to-face is a really good way of working through any issues, sometimes it can be hard.

The Keep Safe – Big Red Button allows you to submit a personal problem that you may be struggling to talk about face-to-face.

Sometimes you want to report something to a teacher about a friend or something you may have seen/witnessed but again you can find it hard to do this face to face. The Keep Safe – Big Red Button allows you to make a report.

Please note: The Keep Safe – Big Red Button is not looked at over the weekends or in the school holidays. If you have a serious concern about your or someone else’s welfare when the school is closed, please contact the following places:

What you submit does not always need shared with other members of staff. Sometimes we will let your Head of Year know, so they can support you and ensure your wellbeing. We may also seek your permission to let your own subject teachers know if it is appropriate.
