Student Life Safeguarding
At Nailsea School our first priority is the safety and security of all of our students. This is called safeguarding. If you or anyone you know is at risk of harm then you must let a member of staff know. You can tell any member of staff about your concerns. They then may pass it on to a member of the safeguarding team.
The email address for non-urgent matters is safeguardingteam@nailseaschool.com but it is always best to talk with one of the team in person.

Useful Resources
It is the right of all individuals in Nailsea School to feel safe and secure without fear of bullying or intimidation.
Wellspring Counselling are an independent charity who work in partnership with Nailsea School to help with students wellbeing and mental health.
Students can be referred to a counsellor by Head of House or by self-referral. Likewise, students can approach a member of the safeguarding team and if appropriate, they will then be introduced to a member of the Wellspring Counselling team. The counselling they provide at Nailsea School is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
