Talking to a friend
Raising an issue in circle time
Talking to any member of staff
Talking to a parent/ carer who can relay worries to us
Talking to any class teacher
Writing a note to any trusted adult who can then investigate
Speaking to a middle or senior leader.

Firstly, please speak to the class teacher or any member of the Year team – we are here to help!
