Child protection

We all have a responsibility to protect children. If we have any
reason to believe that a child in our care is subject to any form
of abuse then we will take action however uncomfortable we
may feel about doing so.

The Bouncing Beans team work very closely with the
children and we regularly, talk and interact with them.
As professionals, we are trained to observe changes in a
child's behaviour, health or physical appearance.

Therefore if we observe or hear anything that we feel is worrying,
then records will be kept and our concerns discussed with Jenny,
our Child Protection Co-ordinator.

Parents must understand that, where staff remain unhappy
with the situation, they have a duty under the 1989 Children Act
to report their concerns to Social Services and Ofsted.

Confidentiality is a very important factor. This type of situation
would not be discussed with the whole team, only the members
of staff who are in close proximity with the child.
