Should anyone dispute that this policy is not being upheld, it is their duty to report their concerns to the nursery manager. The legal framework which this policy is based on is Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act (2006). Early year’s practitioners have a primary duty of care, to safeguard and promote the welfare of the children. Due to the amount of hours of care we are providing, staff will often be the first people to sense that there is a problem. They may also be the first point of contact that the child makes to confide about abuse. This policy lays out the procedures that will be followed should there be any reason to believe that a child in our care has been or is being subjected to welfare issues relating to physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect. Here at Precious Jewels our prime responsibility is the safety and wellbeing of the children in our care. Therefore, it is important that in any instance we respond quickly, responsibly and efficiently in any instance that may come to our attention. All staff will work as a multiagency team where needed in the best interest of the child. All staffs will be familiar with own responsibilities to act swiftly upon any suspicions or concerns they may have about any child or member of staff at the nursery. We at Precious Jewels Nursery will carefully follow the procedures set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCB). The nursery has a responsibility to report any suspicions around abuse to the local authority (Wandsworth council) that have an obligation to investigate such matters.
