Bordesley Green Girls' School and Sixth Form is committed to keeping our students safe, both in school and the wider community. As part of our safeguarding arrangements, BGGS has a two-way information sharing agreement in place with West Midlands Police, and we are also active members of our local constituency Police & Schools Panel.
The agreement is compliant with Crime & Disorder Act 1998, Data Protection Act 2018 – 2021 Update and United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, (UK-GDPR), and focuses on preventing young people from becoming involved, or further involved, in crime and anti-social behaviour, (as either a victim or offender), or those who have been reported as missing who may be vulnerable as a result.
This joint approach helps us to intervene early, provide additional support, and share up-to-date safety messages with students and their families/ carers. If you have any queries about this partnership, please contact our Deputy Head - Ms N Saleh by emailing nsaleh@bordgrng.bham.sch.uk.
