Allegations against staff policy

The pre-school acknowledges that there is always a possibility that a member of its staff may face a Child Protection allegation, for any number of reasons. It is also acknowledged that this can result in a delicate, uncomfortable and often difficult situation where the allegations have been made against a colleague, and this Policy sets out the procedures to be followed to ensure that Safeguarding and Child Protection procedures are followed in an objective, professional and fair manner. The over-riding priority in such cases will be the safeguarding and protection of the child’s welfare.
