Child Protection Procedures |
From time to time the school may receive information from a variety of sources (children, parents, other adults) concerned with the protection of individual children from abuse. This information will always be dealt with sensitively and confidentially and made known to the smallest number of staff who need to know.
Parents do need to be aware that whilst we deal with such information with great care, there are legal responsibilities laid upon the school to report actual allegations to social Services or the Police and there are procedures we are expected to follow if suspicions are passed on to us.
All of us as adults have to be aware and accept that it is the protection of the child who may be at some kind of risk, which is the most important factor.
