Our responsibilities as a school stem from the Children’s Act, which means we must continually train all school staff, be vigilant about the numerous risks surrounding children today and lastly document, monitor, report and follow-up on concerns – reporting to the appropriate bodies where relevant.
The Dorset County website also includes relevant contact details.
