Child Protection is everybody’s job…..it’s our job.
Our Vision is for all children in Fife to be safe and protected from harm.
Our Values ensure that we:
Treat children as individuals considering any diversity
Ensure we use the least intrusive intervention needed
Hear children
Maximise the strengths within families and communities
In Fife, leadership and direction on child protection matters is provided by Fife Chief Officers’ Public Safety Group (COPS). This group collectively works to protect children as effectively as possible. The Fife Child Protection Committee (CPC) reports to COPS on a regular basis.
The CPC contacts at Canmore are;
Mrs Laura Howie (Head Teacher)
Mrs Kate McIntosh (Depute Head Teacher)
Mrs Sharon Ewing (Support for Learning Teacher)
Our Aim is to see all of Fife’s children achieve their full potential by providing them with a safe and supportive environment. We have produced this guidance to inform and support practitioners from all agencies in Fife who may as part of their normal jobs or who may in the course of their duties identify
children at risk. Information within this guidance will support staff in recognising and responding appropriately to ensure children receive the right support. This guidance provides a clear framework for action for all those who are or may be involved with the protection of children and young people and promotes inter-agency practice to protect children and young people.
This guidance refreshes the version published in 2011 and is designed to complement operational procedures that are held within each individual agency and to which staff must refer when responding to child protection concerns. In addition it reflects the need for early and effective support for children, young people and their families to achieve the best outcomes where possible.
