STL3 Help to keep children safe 3.3 Support the safeguarding of children from abuse Performance criteria: P1 At all times follow the policies and procedures of your setting with regard to safeguarding and protecting children/young people I am fully aware of the policies and procedures of my school regarding safegua rding and pro tecti ng people. I have read through th e policy and received updated information on the policies and procedures during a teacher training day. At all times, I comply to the school's poli cy. P2 Report any signs and in dicators of pos sible abus e, being sensitive to the child/young person and circumstances Should I see a child with unexplainable bruises or injuries, I would report them to their teacher at an app rop riate and confidential moment. I would be sensitive to the child by not making a big fuss about what I had seen, or show that I am s hocked at their injuries. I would n ot ask leading questions of the child, but wo uld wait un ti l the child volunteered information if they wanted to. I would report what I had seen in a sensitive wa y th at did not cause embarrassment to the child. My observations would also be documented on a “concerns form” and given to the chil d' s te ac her and the Headteacher. I would al so keep the information confidential apart from those members of staff who needed to know about it. P3 Identify, report and r ecord ch anges in behaviour and physical signs I have build up positive relationships with the children I work with and know them all well, so I would be able to identify if a child is behaving out of ch arac ter. I would keep a close e ye on the child to be sure of my observations and then report these at an appropriate and confidential moment to their teacher, outlining my concerns and the reasons why I fel t that their beha viour was unusual. Similar ly if I saw any poten tial physical signs of abuse, I would again wait for an appropriate moment to disclose my observations, and would fill in a “concern form” about the child which would then be passed on to their teacher and the Headteacher.
