CHILD PROTECTION & SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES

Mr Toner & Mrs Smith are the Designated Teachers for Child Protection Issues.

Please note: If a child in our school makes a disclosure about Child Abuse, the teachers responsible have a legal responsibility to inform Social Services, to ensure the safety and protection of the child.  

Equally if a child is presenting with the signs and symptoms of Child Abuse (see our policy) a referral will have to be made.  

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy / Procedures will be followed by Mr Toner / Mrs Smith (without delay) before making a referral.
