My main responsibility is to the welfare and well being of all children within my care. It is therefore my duty to me the children and the parents and to act quickly and responsibly when any instance of concern comes to my attention.

I will report any suspicions of abuse to the local authority, they have a duty to investigate any instances reported to them.

My policy is to provide a secure and safe environment for all children and I aim to

•  Never place children at risk
