Safeguarding - What to do if you Have a Concern

The safeguarding team at HLAW will listen to any reports that you make. They will support you or the person affected.  

You can report a concern online or by speaking to an adult in school. These concerns could be about things like a bullying incident or something you are worried about. Don't suffer in silence, please make a report!

​Full details of safeguarding at Harris Lowe Academy Willesden can be found on our Safeguarding page.

Reporting a concern online - the SHARP system

The SHARP system also allows you to make an anonymous report to our safeguarding team. Please note this system will not be monitored 24 hours a day and we will not be able to respond directly to submissions.
