Safeguarding Child Protection Policy
Teachers can be uniquely placed, as responsible adults outside students' family homes, to be able to detect signs of child abuse. Because of their day-to-day contact with children, teachers, have a duty to inform the child protection officer who in turn has a duty to work with the Child Protection Team in each borough and other relevant agencies. Where possible teachers should be able to observe outward signs of abuse, changes in behaviour or failure to develop and progress.
Teachers are in a particularly good position to further the personal and social development of children.
Due to the sensitive nature of such issues, it is vital that all staff follow the clearly defined procedures set out in our Child Protection Policy, which may be viewed by appointment at the school.
