Next weeks activities:
Each key person will be responsible for
designing an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all
children who are in on that day will have the opportunity to access the
activity too.
If the key person is on holiday or off,
another staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that
the children do not miss out.

Our Policy of the Week:
Procedure for
suspected abuse by an early years worker
Any suspicion or allegation of child abuse by
an early year’s worker must be reported to the Manager so that a referral can
be made.
If circumstances are such that this is not a
viable course of action, (for example – if it is the Manager that has been
accused) then the matter should be immediately referred to the Operations
Manager to refer to the LADO, following the flow chart with the Safeguarding
Policy.
The member of staff making the allegation
will be required to give details of the alleged abuse.
The member of staff who has had the
allegation made against them will be immediately suspended whilst a full
investigation led by the LADO takes place.
Ofsted will be informed of any allegations of
serious abuse or harm by any person living, working or looking after children
at the premises; we must also notify Ofsted of the action taken in respect of
the allegations. These notifications must be made as soon as is reasonability
practical but within at least 14 days of the allegations being made. If the
setting or club fails to do this an offence will have been committed.
Childcare and Learning Group accepts that the
deciding to report a concern can be very difficult and uncomfortable. If a
member of staff makes an allegation in good faith, but it is not confirmed by
the investigation, no action will be taken against him/her. If however a member
of staff makes an allegation frivolously, maliciously of for personal gain,
disciplinary action may be taken against them.
Kind Regards,
Jess, Jamie and the South Hill Team
