Safeguarding at CAN
Child safety
The safety and wellbeing of our students is the foundation that underpins everything we do at City Academy. We know that healthy and safe students are happy students. We know that happy students make the most progress at school. To ensure that all our students are safe we have a safeguarding team onsite during working hours. Our aim is to work with you to ensure that all our students are safe.

Safer Schools officer
Safer Schools Partnerships (SSP) help to keep students safe, reduce the risk of young people getting drawn into crime, anti-social or extremist behaviour, and improve the safety of the school site and surrounding area.
Our Safer Schools officer is PC 1582 Garry Hoadley, a police officer in the Norfolk Constabulary. He supports:
- The safety of pupils and staff, as well as the school site and surrounding area
- Young people in dealing with situations that may put them at risk of becoming victims of crime, bullying or intimidation, and providing support to those experiencing these things
- Early identification, support, and, where necessary, challenging pupils involved in, or at risk of, offending
- Improved standards of pupil behaviour and attendance, lessening the need for exclusions
- Improving relations between young people and the police, and between young people and the wider community
- Effectively approaching issues beyond the school site that negatively impact on pupil safety and behaviour
School nurse
We have an on-site nurse, Mrs Sarah Bluett, two days a month. She prepares health care plans for children who require medical care or medications at school. If you would like to meet with her to discuss your child’s need or issues, you can make an appointment to see her by calling 01603 452628 and speaking to Mrs Bangay or Mrs Heath on the Safeguarding Team.
All injuries and illnesses are dealt with by staff who are qualified to practice first aid and have had training by Sarah to administer medication.
Operation Encompass
City Academy Norwich will be taking part in a jointly run operation between Norfolk County Council, Norfolk Police and our school, it is called Operation Encompass. Encompass has been set-up to help schools to provide support to children who have been present at incidents of domestic abuse & violence. We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally harmed when they are involved in, present or witness to domestic violence.
