As college closes for the summer holiday, I wanted to share some safeguarding information with you that I have taken from our Safe for Summer campaign. If you are worried about your own safety or the safety of others, please contact your local Social Services office. For example, local to the school is Salford City Council. If you lived in Salford for example, it would be Salford Social Services 0161 603 4500 Each authority has their own “worried about a child” section on their website. ​
