At Headforwards Digital Academy, we believe safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re a learner on one of our digital courses or engaging with us through online learning, it’s our shared duty to ensure that every individual feels safe, valued, and supported. As part of our commitment to fostering a secure and inclusive learning environment, we’re excited to introduce a dedicated Safeguarding Information Hub, where you can easily access important procedures, guidance, and support.

We’ve created this Safeguarding Hub to provide you with everything you need, from guidance on recognising safeguarding concerns to detailed instructions on how to submit a referral.
We’re here to support you throughout your learning journey.

Why Safeguarding Matters to Us
A safe learning environment, both in-person and online, is more than just a policy, it’s the foundation of everything we do. When you feel valued, secure, and supported, you can focus fully on your learning and personal growth. Safeguarding helps protect our most important asset: you, our learners. We want everyone to feel empowered to report concerns, and that starts with knowing you’re never alone in raising an issue.
Whether it’s a concern about another learner, someone in your learning environment, or even yourself, it’s important to speak up. That’s why we’ve made it simple and easy for you to act.
We encourage you to provide your contact details so we can discuss your concerns further if needed. However, we understand that there may be situations where this is not possible or comfortable. Reporting concerns remains essential, and if you prefer, you have the option to do so anonymously.
To ensure you have a clear and straightforward way to report any concerns or disclosures, we’ve introduced a Safeguarding Referral Form, which you can access here.
Designated Safeguarding Team
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t hesitate, our Designated Safeguarding Team is here to listen and support you. Early intervention can make a big difference, and your voice is essential in helping to keep our learning community safe.
A safe, supportive learning environment for all
Creating a safe and supportive environment is at the heart of what makes Headforwards Digital Academy a great place to learn and grow. We want you to feel confident in sharing any concerns and to know that your well-being is always our top priority. Every single person has a role in maintaining a healthy, respectful, and protective learning space.
So, let’s work together to keep our learning community safe and supportive. Explore the Safeguarding Hub today, and remember: if you see something, say something.
Together, we make a difference!
