Inverclyde Council Education Services has Child Protection Guidelines and Procedures which all schools and establishments are required to follow. Education Services work very closely with other agencies namely Strathclyde Police, Social Work Services, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and the Children\u2019s Reporter to support children. Common responsibilities of all staff are to protect children from abuse and exploitation, to respond appropriately when abuse is identified, and to ensure whenever possible that all children are able to exercise their right to be raised in a warm, stimulating and safe environment with the support of staff, their families and carers.<\/p>\n
If a member of staff has any concerns regarding a child\u2019s safety and protection it is our statutory duty to report these concerns to the appropriate agency. All actions taken are in the interest of the child. Further information leaflets for parents regarding Child Protection are available from the Centre.
