All health and social care services in Scotland have a duty of candour. This is a legal requirement which means that when things go wrong and mistakes happen, the people affected understand what has happened, receive an apology, and that organisations learn how to improve for the future.

An important part of this duty is that we provide an annual report about the duty of candour in our services.

Duty of Candour Report August 2021

‘a shared understanding of what we want to achieve for the children in the school, what do we want for them 
and how are we going to go about it.’

Please help us to shape our curriculum and how and what the children learn at Shawhead PS & NC by answering the following questions.  We appreciate your help and support.

Let’s keep safe

Our aim is to ensure that our school is safe, happy, welcoming and secure for everyone.

• We ask staff and children to think carefully about their own safety.
• We lock children’s entrances after the start of the school day.
• We ask all visitors to sign in and out and to wear a ‘visitor’ badge in the school or school grounds.
• We ask all staff to wear identification badges.
• We ask that you let us know if you are not collecting your child and let us know of any last minute changes to collection at the end of the day.
• We ask that nursery parents and carers tell us the password used to collect their child so that in the event of a change of adult at collection we know that we are handing over your child safely.
• We ask all visitors to follow carefully the directional signs both inside and outside the building.
• We ask you to let us know if you see anyone acting suspiciously near our school.
• We ask that all parents who volunteer to help in our school should undertake the disclosure procedure.
• We ask you to share with us any ideas you may have to make our school safer.

And in particular

We ask everyone to be patient – good security can be frustrating
