5. The process (from Excellence gateway resource)
Learner has concern about self or another and tells:
May go back to learner
Tutor/ other staff member
Designated person
Designated person gathers more information
You need to ensure that learners understand the process, and that because of a duty of care to them, staff can’t keep issues and concerns to themselves if they relate to safeguarding, and they should also be clear that if disclosing to a staff member, the Designated Person may then follow it up and make contact.
They should also understand that some situations will be referred out of the organisation against the learners preference, if serious.
