Cwmbach nursery school has as its priority, the protection and well being of all pupils in the school.
In our school the Headteacher has overall responsibilty for child protection matters and acts as a source of advice and support to other school staff.
Our school has a nominated child protection governor, who has to ensure that the school has a child protection policy in place which is consistent with All the Wales Child Protection Procedures (2002), that all staff in school must follow where there are concerns or suspicions of child abuse.
If we receive information abou a child which suggests that he/she has been abused or at risk of being abused, we have a duty to refer these concerns to the social servies dept or the police without delay. We have no discretion in this matter.
Our first concern as a school is your child's welfare and where we have general concerns these will be raised with you and we would want to work with you to remedy the situation. However, there may be concerns, as listed above, where we have to talk to other agencies before we contact you. Should this be necessary, we want to reassure you that any concerns we have about your child will then be fully dicussed with you in a way which is consistent with your child's best interests.
