POLICY
2015-16

INTRODUCTION
Under Article 19 of the UNCRC, the
School has an obligation towards child
protection in school. The authorities,
teachers and other adults engaged in
the process of schooling and teaching
are therefore duty bound to provide an
environment that supports and
promotes childrens dignity,
development and protection.

Purpose of this policy

To promote a safe and positive environment in school,
conducive for learning and development, in partnership
with children
To provide the schools position on safety and protection of
children and the measures taken for ensuring the same
To define roles and responsibilities and accountability of
school authorities and other stakeholders
To enable staff and others recognize signs of abuse or
situation when a child may require protection and help;
and importantly enable them to report or bring to the
notice of the concerned authority for immediate action
To set in place mechanisms for monitoring and review of
the implementation of the child protection standards

Governing principles

Principle of best interest of child

Principle of safety
Principle of equality and non-discrimination
Principle of confidentiality
Principle of participation

Every child has a right to protection of her/his privacy

and confidentiality, in matters that call for such.
Confidentiality shall be maintained when there has
been abuse, especially when there has been sexual
abuse.

Key elements of our policy

Creating a child safe and child sensitive school environment
Prevention of child abuse dealing with various forms of
child abuse including corporal punishment
Responding to Child Safety Violations - Complaints
mechanisms and response, procedures
Recruitment and capacity building of personnel
Disciplinary action for misconduct
Referral systems
Monitoring and Review that includes self- assessment,
feedback mechanisms and reporting.
Convergence and collaboration

GOOD PRACTICE GUIDELINES

treating all children with respect

setting a good example by conducting ourselves appropriately
involving children in decision-making which affects them
encouraging positive and safe behaviour among children
being a good listener
being alert to changes in childs behaviour
recognising that challenging behaviour may be an indicator of
abuse
reading and understanding all of the schools safeguarding
and guidance documents on wider safeguarding issues, for
example bullying, physical contact, e-safety plans and
information-sharing

blowing, complaints and disciplinary procedures
Cooperating fully with relevant statutory
agencies.

WHEN A CHILD DISCLOSES

INFORMATIONS TO YOU
Allow them to speak freely.
Remain calm and do not over react the child may stop talking if
they feel they are upsetting you.
Give reassuring nods or words of comfort Im so sorry this has
happened, I want to help, This isnt your fault, You are doing the
right thing in talking to me.
Do not be afraid of silences remember how hard this must be for
the child.
Under no circumstances ask investigative questions such as how
many times this has happened, whether it happens to siblings too,
or what does the childs mother thinks about all this.
At an appropriate time tell the child that in order to help them you
must pass the information on.

REPORTING DIRECTLY TO CHILD

PROTECTION AGENCIES

However, they may also share information directly with childrens social care,
police or the child protection center if:
the situation is an emergency and the designated senior person, their deputy, the
head teacher and the chair of governors are all unavailable
