Safeguarding Children. The welfare and protection of our children is paramount and consideration should always be given to whether the use of photography will place our children at risk. Images may be used to harm children, for example as a preliminary to 'grooming' or by displaying them inappropriately on the Internet, particularly social networking sites. For this reason consent is always sought when photographing children and additional consideration given to photographing vulnerable children, particularly Looked After Children or those known to be fleeing domestic violence. Consent must be sought from those with parental responsibility (this may include the Local Authority in the case of Looked After Children).

Safeguarding Children. No significant implications.
Safeguarding Children. 23. It is understood that the Pre-school is under obligation to report to the relevant authorities any incident where we consider a child may have been abused or neglected. This may be done without informing the parent / carer.
Safeguarding Children. 3.1 HAC will ensure that robust procedures are in place to ensure the safety of children participating in activities. All adults working with children as part of these programmes will have appropriate training and safeguarding checks. Coaches will hold appropriate coaching awards for the opportunities delivered.
Safeguarding Children. The Children Act (CA) 1989 provides the legislative framework for agencies to take decisions on behalf of children and to take action to safeguard them from abuse and neglect. Everyone must be aware that in situations where there is a concern that an adult at risk is or could be being abused or neglected and there are children in the same household, they too could be at risk. Reference should be made to the local child protection procedures and the Local Safeguarding Children Board inter-agency guidelines and internal protocols dealing with cross-boundary working if there are concerns about abuse or neglect of children and young people under the age of 18. The Local Safeguarding Adults Board and Local Safeguarding Children Board in all Local Authority Areas covered by this Policy are committed to close working to improve safeguarding practice. The Boards need to engage with each other to ensure both children and adults services work together to safeguard both children and adults at risk.
Safeguarding Children. It is the responsibility of everyone to keep children safe. Every child has the right to be protected from harm and we have a legal responsibility to ensure that this over-rides all other responsibilities. Children should not be subjected to neglect or physical, emotional or sexual abuse. If any worker recognises any such safeguarding issues he/she will make you aware of the concern. They will then inform their manager, child’s social worker or make a formal referral under the Herefordshire Safeguarding Children’s Board procedures. If the incident is serious the police will also be informed immediately of the concern.
Safeguarding Children. It must be understood that the Burwood is under obligation to report any incident where we consider a child may have been abused or neglected to the relevant authorities. This may be done without informing the parent / carer. Any information given by a parent or carer regarding their child will be treated with the utmost confidentiality, except in cases where harm towards a child is suspected. Divulging confidential information relating to Burwood, its employees, children or parents/carers to any third party is considered a breach of confidence and, as such, is regarded instituting gross misconduct which could lead to summary dismissal from employment for staff or cancellation of a Preschool Breakfast/After School placement. Staff are instructed to limit discussions with parents regarding Burwood or your child to Breakfast/After School session times and on Xxxxxxx’s premises, and then only regarding children for whom they have specific responsibilities. Parents / carers are asked to respect that fact and not approach staff outside of those times. Parents / carers and staff will not discuss details pertaining to their own or other children and the Preschool/Breakfast/After School Club on any social networking site or in social environments. Privacy for children is essential, so parents / carers are requested to respect this condition and not ask a staff member to deviate from this rule. Social media is not a secure way to discuss a child. Parents / carers can contact Burwood via email, phone or in person. Burwood’s Facebook page is for information purposes only.
