Reporting a Concern of Abuse or Neglect
Everyone has a duty to keep children safe from abuse and neglect
If you are concerned about a child’s welfare whilst you are in school, please record your concern, and any observations or conversation heard, and report to one of the DSLs as soon as possible the same day. Do NOT conduct your own investigation.
If your concerns relate to the actions or behaviour of a member of staff (which could suggest that s/he is unsuitable to work with children) then you should report this to the Headteacher (or the Chair of Governors if the concern relates to the Headteacher) – who will consider what action to take.
If you are concerned about a child and it is outside of the school, it is important that you report your worries to the correct agency.
