KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE Key reminders from the document Keeping Children Safe Part 1 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE SEE CUMBRIA LSCB WEBSITE NSPCC LINKS

EVERYONE WHO COMES INTO CONTACT WITH CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES HAS A KEY ROLE TO PLAY IN SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN 1.Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined for the purposes of this guidance as: protecting children from maltreatment; preventing impairment of children’s health or development; ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes. 2. Children includes everyone under the age of Where a child is suffering significant harm, or is likely to do so, action should be taken to protect that child.1 Action should also be taken to promote the welfare of a child in need of additional support, even if they are not suffering harm or are at immediate risk.2

THE ROLE OF ALL SCHOOL STAFF Should safeguard children’s wellbeing and maintain public trust in the teaching profession as part of their professional duties. Provide a safe environment Take appropriate action with other services when necessary Be aware that at times we may need to help in making decisions about individual children.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW School Child protection policy Staff code of conduct Appropriate Child protection training How to look out for signs of abuse

LSCB WEBSITE AND NSPCC WEBSITE It is our role to know what we are looking for in order for the early identification of abuse and neglect.

IF, AT ANY POINT, THERE IS A RISK OF IMMEDIATE SERIOUS HARM TO A CHILD A REFERRAL SHOULD BE MADE TO CHILDREN’S SOCIAL CARE IMMEDIATELY. ANYBODY CAN MAKE A REFERRAL. IF THE CHILD’S SITUATION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE IMPROVING THE STAFF MEMBER WITH CONCERNS SHOULD PRESS FOR RE- CONSIDERATION. CONCERNS SHOULD ALWAYS LEAD TO HELP FOR THE CHILD AT SOME POINT. Poor practice in the past includes: Failing to act on and refer early signs of abuse of neglect, poor record keeping, failing to listen to the views of the child, failing to re-assess concerns when situations do not improve, sharing information slowly, and lack of challenge to those who appear not to be taking action.

MANDATORY REPORTING DUTY Section 5B of the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 (as inserted by section 74 of the Serious Crime Act 2015) will place a statutory duty upon teachers10, along with social workers and healthcare professionals, to report to the police where they discover (either through disclosure by the victim or visual evidence) that FGM appears to have been carried out on a girl under 18. Those failing to report such cases will face disciplinary sanctions. It will be rare for teachers to see visual evidence, and they should not be examining pupils, but the same definition of what is meant by “to discover that an act of FGM appears to have been carried out” is used for all professionals to whom this mandatory reporting duty applies. The Mandatory reporting duty will commence in October Once introduced, teachers must report to the police cases where they discover that an act of FGM appears to have been carried out. Unless the teacher has a good reason not to, they should still consider and discuss any such case with the school’s designated safeguarding lead and involve children’s social care as appropriate.

PREVENT SEE ADDITIONAL POWERPOINT

WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AFTER EACH OTHER TOO If staff members have concerns about another member of staff then this this should be referred to the headteacher. Where there are concerns about the headteacher this should be passed on to the Chair of Governors.
