Supporting Individual Learning Needs

Introduction

All school staff has a responsibility to identify and report suspected abuse and to ensure the safety and well being of the pupils in their school. In doing so they should seek advice and support as necessary from the High Mistress/designated teacher and other senior staff members. Staff is expected to provide a safe and caring environment in which children can develop the confidence to voice ideas, feelings and opinions. Children should be treated with respect within a framework of agreed and understood behaviour. All school staff is expected to:

be able to identify signs and symptoms of abuse

Report concerns to the designated teacher or other senior staff members as appropriate

Follow the relevant guidelines from the Educational Social Work Department (ESW) and if necessary the London area child safeguarding procedures

Know to whom and how to report allegations against other school staff.

Monitor and report as required on the welfare, attendance and progress of pupils on the borough's child safeguarding register; and

Keep clear, dated, factual and confidential records of child safeguarding concerns.

If a pupil makes an allegation against the designated teacher with responsibility for child safeguarding, the member of staff receiving the allegation must immediately inform the High Mistress. If the High Mistress is absent, the allegation should be passed to the chair of governors. If the allegation concerns the High Mistress, the person receiving the allegation should immediately inform the chair of governors without notifying the High Mistress first.
