Safeguarding...

It is our responsibility as a childminders is to ensure the safety and welfare of all the children in our care in line with the procedures laid out by our local Children’s Safeguarding Team (Dee Capon & Lyn Bell).
 
The Children’s Safeguarding Team is responsible for producing Safeguarding Children Procedures based on national guidelines set out to Safeguard Children.
 
We have received training on Safeguarding Children and we’re aware of the signs and symptoms of child abuse, physical, emotional, sexual, and those of neglect.
 
If we have reason to believe that any child in our care is being abused in any way we will report the matter to the Children’s Safeguarding Team. Under these circumstances we will not be able to keep information relating to your child confidential, but will need to share it with Ofsted, Social Services and the Police if requested.
 
If you have any concerns about this policy please discuss them with us or you can contact your local Children’s Safeguarding Team (Dee Capon & Lyn Bell) on 01202 458012.
