Understand and follow official Police guidance on physical chastisement of their children:

• • Schools have a responsibility under section 175 of the Education Act 2002 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children both in and out of school.

  • As a parent/carer, I understand that I am responsible for disciplining my children, or those under my care, when they are not in school. I fully understand and am aware that the use of physical force in disciplining them may be illegal in certain circumstances. This may include where an implement has been used or where that force has resulted in visible injury and the use of prolonged stress positions (this is where children are placed in a position of discomfort for a long period of time). I understand that in such circumstances the school has a statutory duty to report such incidents to Children’s Social Care and that the Police may be asked to investigate. For more information, please see the Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy on the school’s website.
