SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT OR SEXUAL HARRASMENT

Dear Students,

We take our responsibility of promoting healthy and consensual relationships at Capital City Academy extremely seriously and will not tolerate, under any circumstances, any behaviours from students, staff or other members of our community which are not acceptable.

We want to reassure you that if you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault or harassment at Capital City Academy, that support is available for you:

NSPCC

A free helpline to support those who have experienced abuse in school. This helpline provides advice and support for both children and adults regarding their own experience or concerns they have for others.

Call 0800 136 663 or email help@nspcc.org.uk

More information on the helpline is available via the NSPCC Website

Capital City Academy

You can also talk to a member of the Safeguarding Team or email safeguarding@capitalcityacademy.org if you have any concerns.

Capital City Academy takes a whole school approach in tackling sexual assault and sexual harassment in our school. This means that all members of our school community have a responsibility in working together to promote sex equality. We will continue to educate our staff and students through using tailored resources and training.

We cannot allow the current culture that has been exposed in many schools recently to continue unchallenged and Capital City Academy adopts a ZERO TOLERANCE approach to these matters.

If you have any further questions, please speak to Ms Rowthorn or Ms O'Brien - Bhuj.

Thank you,

Ms Rowthorn
