Whisper

During Anti Bullying Week RGS launched Whisper an online reporting tool for students to use if they have any school problems or worries eg bullying, peer issues, school work, stress and anxiety.

Reporting issues is a very effective way to enable us to be able to deal with risks before they escalate into harm and we already have ways in which students can seek support but we understand that sometimes face to face conversations are difficult.

Whisper is an anonymous reporting service for students that allows them to send a message or text to a confidential school email account where the safe guarding team experienced in responding to issues will receive it.

How does it work?

Clicking on the Whisper button will take students to an online form where you can leave your message. Students can choose to send it anonymously or, if students want us to get back to them, they can leave their contact details. Whisper does not collect any information to identify a sender unless they choose to leave it.

Students can also send an anonymous text by following the SMS instructions . Again, Whisper will not store any personal information if students use this service. Whisper reports are checked daily by the safeguarding team. Please note: Whisper is not checked at the weekends or during the school holidays.

Full details of how to use Whisper can be found in posters around the school.
