CACHE Level 2 Child Care and Education © Hodder Education 2008 Your role in reporting suspected abuse You need to be aware of the indicators of child abuse as outlined above. However, it is important not to jump to conclusions. If you have any cause for concern, you should always talk to your immediate superior or to the head of the nursery or school. Every child care setting has a policy for dealing with suspected child abuse.

CACHE Level 2 Child Care and Education © Hodder Education 2008 If you suspect child abuse in the home setting, then you should contact your local Social Services or the NSPCC (The National Society for the Protection of Children).

CACHE Level 2 Child Care and Education © Hodder Education 2008 If a child tells you he or she has been abused You should: reassure the child, saying that you are glad that they have told you about this. believe the child. Tell the child that you will do your best to protect them, but don’t promise that you can do that.

CACHE Level 2 Child Care and Education © Hodder Education 2008 remember that the child is not to blame, and that it is important that you make the child understand this. do a lot of listening; don’t ask questions. report your conversation with the child to your immediate superior. write down what was said by the child as soon as possible after the conversation.
