Safeguarding

Dear Parents and Carers,

At Madrasah Imam Bukhari , the safety and happiness of every young person in our community is at the heart of everything we do. We are deeply committed to creating a nurturing environment where students feel secure both inside and outside of the madrasah.

Our approach to safeguarding goes beyond basic protection, we actively educate our students on how to keep themselves safe. Through engaging lessons, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking assemblies, we empower them with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the world safely, both online and offline.

We also work closely with parents and carers, ensuring that together we create the safest possible environment for every child. The madrasah has a legal responsibility to act when there are concerns about a child’s well-being, working alongside essential agencies such as the Police, Children’s Social Catre, and Health professionals. While we always strive to keep parents and carers informed when a referral needs to be made, there may be times when external authorities advise us not to share details immediately, this is always done in the best interests of the child. We understand this can be worrying, but please know that every step we take follows strict safeguarding legislation designed to protect and support children in need.

If you ever have concerns about the well-being of a child, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact us by calling  0116 266 6688 and ask for a member of the Safeguarding Team.

For serious concerns outside of school hours, you can also reach out to:

• Children’s Social Care (CASP): 0116 4541005
• Police: 101 (non-emergency) or 999 (emergency)

Thank you for your trust and partnership in keeping our children safe.
