Welcome to the safeguarding children section of the website for parents and carers. As an academy, we believe that safeguarding is not only about protecting children and young people from abuse and neglect, but also their families too. It is our intention therefore to support families by signposting them to universal services which may assist them when they are facing difficulties themselves. We currently have a range of links and resources for parents and carers which are available here: Supporting You.

 

Safeguarding is the responsibility of every person that comes into contact with a child. The Academy’s Child Protection and Safeguarding policy lays out procedures to prevent incidents of potential harm through encouraging openness and support; to train staff to provide protection to young people; and to offer support where necessary.

 

If you would like to report an issue, you can do so by contacting us on the details below.

 

Your will be responded to within 24 hours; however, if you are worried that a child or young person under the age of 18 is at risk of harm or needs help and support, it is important that you report this using the numbers below.

 

If you believe a child or young person is at immediate risk you should contact the police on 999.

You can report any concerns to the school directly by ringing 01482 226166 and asking to speak to one of the safeguarding team or emailing safeguarding@riseacademyhull.co.uk

 

For further details of the safeguarding procedures please see our Safeguarding Policy (Rise Academy Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy – Sept 2026)

Operation Encompass is a police and education early information sharing partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support for children and young people experiencing domestic abuse. Information is shared by the police with a school’s trained Key Adult (DSL) prior to the start of the next school day after officers have attended a domestic abuse incident thus enabling appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child.

Children experiencing domestic abuse are negatively impacted by this exposure; domestic abuse has been identified as an Adverse Childhood Experience and can lead to emotional, physical and psychological harm. Operation Encompass aims to mitigate this harm by enabling immediate support, making a child’s day better and giving them a better tomorrow.
