We take seriously our responsibility to safeguard the children that attend all our sessions and we ensure that consistent and effective safeguarding procedures are in place to support our families, children and staff.
If we are concerned about your child we will talk to you first. If we need to record information, or to share with other relevant professionals, this will be discussed with you and stored confidentially in line with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The only exception to this would be if we had reason to believe that discussing our concerns with you would put your child at immediate risk of harm. If this is the case we would contact the Social Care Team or the Police first.
