The child protection co-ordinator is Michelle Smith, Head of Nursery.

In Michelle’s absence report to the Team Leaders.

We have a clear Child Protection Policy which we are duty bound

to follow.

If a child or parent

• Shares information with staff
• Displays unusual behaviours
• Or the content of a child’s drawing or play causes concern

Should any member of staff have concerns regarding the Welfare & Safety of any child or adult they must report these concerns to the Head of Nursery or Team Leader.  The Head or Team Leader will decide if there are grounds for concern. The Head or Team Leader may discuss their concerns with you. If appropriate the relevant agencies will be notified for example, Health Visitor / Social Services / Police Scotland.

The following guidance information is available:

• Management Circular 57 – Child Welfare and Safety
