WHO TO CONTACT REGARDING ABUSE AT CH

Post by jtaylor »

This is taken from the message from the HM to Old Blues on 16th July 2018.
https://www.christs-hospital.org.uk/chr ... 202018.pdf

If you have any concerns over potential conflict of interest re. contacting the school initially, then do use the direct police contact below.
CH dedicated email address – safeguarding@christs-hospital.org.uk – which is staffed by a small team
of specialists who can respond to your concerns or pass them on to the relevant authorities. All approaches will be dealt with sympathetically and in complete confidence.

Sussex police can be reached on 01273 470101.

There are a number of organisations providing support for victims of child sexual abuse including

NAPAC (the National Association of People Abused in Childhood) on
0808 801 0331
and the
NSPCC on
0808 800 5000.

I'm slightly concerned Julian.

I haven't yet received this e-mail from the HM, so was completely in the dark when I received a PM from someone about it.

I'll have to check with the school office as I think this is the second epistle that has wandered off track !

Or am I now persona non grata ???? 8)

I can't recall if I saw an email for this - but it was published on the CHOBA website.

JR you are not the only one, I don’t think we should be having to go to CHOBA to read such letters.

I think they should remove the tag line A school like no other I certainly hope that no other schools have such a story of abuse.

I certainly thought that when I looked at the letter. My initial reaction was, "Well, you can say THAT again !!"

Quite a few other schools have the slogan "A school like no other". In fact, CH is the 6th school in the search results on google! I wonder how much CH spent on corporate branding consultants for it?

Its also worth noting that Hertford Lady's can contact Hertfordshire Police or, indeed, you can contact your local police who can forward paperwork accordingly to either Sussex or Hertfordshire Police.

Since they haven't asked me for approval (as every other tom, dick and harry has), am I supposed to send messages to everyone I can find with Google?
OK a bit tongue in cheek but the point is made
What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!
