At Sutton House Academy the safeguarding and welfare of our students is paramount.

We are building good relationships with multi agencies in order to support every child.

Child protection is keeping all children happy, safe and free from harm.

We have good links with the Police and Young Persons Drug and Alcohol Team (YPDAT) to prevent against County Lines, we ensure our students are fully aware of the dangers facing them in community.

We have Counsellors specially trained in supporting against County Lines and Qualified Counsellors supporting our children with their mental health issues.

MASH+ provides support from the Local Authority, NHS and the Police – all these services are linked to give the best possible support for the children and their families.
