- Talk privately to a designated officer as soon as possible
- DO NOT discuss the incident with other members of staff or families
- If you have seen, heard or a child/adult has said something that concerns you, do not ask questions but record in writing the event or exactly what they have said (in their own words)
- Do not make judgements about the situation
- Parents or staff with a concern can discuss with a designated officer or call the Children’s Single Point of Access on 01189 373641, or in an emergency, call 999
- As a duty of care, always ensure that action has been taken to follow up any incident of concern
At Caversham Nursery School we use a system called CPOMS to record any concerns. You can find out more about this here.
