ALLEGATIONS AGAINST STAFF,

LOW-LEVEL CONCERNS

KCSIE states that it is vital that there is a whole-school approach to safeguarding and everyone works to create a safe culture within the organisation. This means all concerns and allegations against adults working in the establishment, including school staff, supply teachers, volunteers, and contractors, are dealt with promptly and effectively.

A low-level concern means the allegations against that staff member do not meet the harms threshold and this person does not pose an immediate risk towards the students.

Being over friendly with children
Having ‘favourites’
Taking photographs of children on their mobile phone
Engaging with a child on a one-to-one basis in a secluded area or behind a closed door
Using inappropriate sexualised, intimdating or offensive language
Behaving in a way inconsistent with the staff code of conduct, including inappropriate conduct outside of work, and
Behaving in a way that does not meet the allegation threshold, or is otherwise not serious enough to consider a referral to the LADO.

If you have any concerns about an adult working or volunteering in school it is important you report them immediately both verbally to a safeguarding officer and written. As Cpoms is not set up for this we have created a google form.
