Safeguarding and welfare concerns
During School Hours
If you have a safeguarding or welfare concern and need to speak to a school safeguarding lead during school hours, then please contact the school on 01509 263485. You can also email safeguarding@cobden.bepschools.org which will forward your email directly to all of our safeguarding leads. Although emails are monitored regularly during school hours, for urgent matters please speak directly to a school safeguarding lead rather than email.
Outside of School Hours
If you have a safeguarding concern and it is outside of school hours or during the school holiday, you should call Leicestershire First Response Children’s Duty on 0116 3050005. For non-urgent matters, you can email safeguarding@cobden.bepschools.org which will forward your email directly to all our safeguarding leads. During school holidays and out of school hours, emails are monitored periodically, however, response time may vary. If a person is in immediate danger or a crime is being committed, call the police on 999.
