Section 1 - Responsibilities
As a candidate working in education, your behaviour is governed by principles fundamental to the safeguarding of children within whatever educational setting you may work:
Review the Keeping Children Safe in Education and the Working Together 2015 document - required reading for any staff in education.
As a supply worker, your level of responsibility is the same as any permanent member of staff.
Rules and procedures apply equally to you as a supply candidate.
You are under the direction and guidance of the school's managers.
Within every school, there is an identified 'designated person' with responsibilities for child protection. This can be any member of staff.
Any concerns you have regarding any aspect of child protection or a child's welfare must be reported immediately to the designated person or to a senior member of staff.The welfare of children comes first (Children's Act 1989)
