Our Safeguarding aim and objectives.

06.1 Responding to safeguarding or child protection concerns
The safeguarding roles and how we respond.

06.2 Allegations against staff, volunteers or agency staff
Concerns may come from a parent, child, colleague or member of the public. Allegations or concerns must be referred to the designated person without delay -even if the person making the allegation later withdraws it.

06.3 Visitor or intruder on the premises
The safety and security of the premises is maintained at all time and staff are vigilant in areas that pose a risk, such as shared premises. A risk assessment is completed to ensure that unauthorised visitors cannot gain access.

06.4 Uncollected Child
If a child is not collected by closing time, or the end of the session and there has been no contact from the parent, or there are concerns about the child’s welfare then this procedure is followed.
