In order to protect our children, we aim to:
- Create an atmosphere where all our children can feel secure, valued and listened to.
- Respond quickly, appropriately and effectively to safeguarding concerns.
When you contact a safeguarding lead you will be listened to, the children’s safety is our priority.
The safeguarding lead will take the decision about whether or not the information needs to be passed to the local authority for further investigation. If a member of the public has reported concerns about a child, they, in legal terms, have no continued responsibility once the report has been made.
If a child makes a disclosure to you:
- Listen to the child.
- Explain that you need to tell one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads.
- Either complete a record of concern sheet, or report it on CPOMS. In either case, record the child’s EXACT words.
- If completing a paper sheet, hand it to one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads, who will sign it in your presence.
Remember
Every member of staff has a duty to keep children safe.
