What To Do If You Have a Safeguarding Concern
Guidance for Families in East Sussex
At MV Funtastic, safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. If you ever have a concern about the safety or wellbeing of a child — whether it relates to our setting, your own child, or a child in the community — it’s important to know the right steps to take.
1. Speak to a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
If your concern is related to MV Funtastic, please speak to one of our trained DSLs as soon as possible. Our DSL-trained staff include:
- Vicky
- Sandra
2. Contact Your Child’s School or Setting
If the concern relates to a child outside of MV Funtastic, you can also speak to the DSL at the child’s school, nursery or childcare setting.
3. Contact East Sussex Children’s Services
If you believe a child may be at risk of harm, or you feel uncomfortable speaking to a setting directly, you can contact East Sussex Children’s Services. You can find their up-to-date contact numbers on the East Sussex County Council website under the Children’s Services or Safeguarding section.
4. Contact SPOA (Single Point of Advice)
SPOA is the central point for reporting concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing in East Sussex. Their current contact details are also available on the East Sussex County Council website under the “SPOA” or “Report a Concern” pages.
5. If a Child Is in Immediate Danger
If you believe a child is at immediate risk of harm, contact emergency services right away.
6. You Can Ask for Advice Without Making a Formal Report
If you’re unsure whether something is a safeguarding concern, you can still speak to a DSL or Children’s Services for guidance. You don’t need proof — sharing a worry is enough.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
