What should I do if a pupil makes a safeguarding disclosure?

Listen calmly, let them talk with interruption and take what they tell you seriously. Do not promise secrecy.
Make a factual record of what was said, keep it secure and seek appropriate safeguarding advice promptly. Do not investigate the matter yourself or confront the suspected abuser.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.
