HELPFUL TIPS TO PROTECT CHILDREN!
Safeguarding Children and Young People is a sensitive and difficult area and requires a Working-Together ethos.
Good lines of communication MUST be shared with the Safeguarding Team as soon as possible.
It is important that the child’s voice is heard and recorded.
A child may choose to share child protection concerns with you.
You should listen to the young person at an appropriate time; try to record word for word what they have disclosed.
Please be factual and remember to state:
· The name of the child
· The date and time of disclosure
· Details of the disclosure
· The authors name, signature and date
· Remember your statement could be used as evidence
If a child discloses a child protection concern with you, DO NOT QUESTION FURTHER OR INVESTIGATE.
Please inform a member of the Safeguarding Team immediately.
MANAGING ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MEMBERS OF STAFF
In exceptional circumstances you may have concerns about the conduct of a staff member.
It is very important to do the following:
- If it is a member of staff you MUST share your concerns with the Headteacher
- If it is the Headteacher you MUST share your concerns with the Chair of Governors via the school: 01642 762856
- Louise Spellman—CEO, The 1590 Trust, Conyers School 01642 783253
Allegations against staff will be referred to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) who manages allegations against staff.
Any further action will be coordinated by the LADO.
Please remember the following:
Children who are at risk of harm or neglect can sometimes be identified by the following:
· Verbal disclosure
· ‘Secret(s)’ - Adults MUST share information that could indicate a child is being harmed/neglected
· Information from concerned school friends or other students
· Behaviour
· Emotional well-being
· Self-harm
· Written school work
