Safeguarding Children and Child Protection

Safeguarding Children and Child Protection


If you are a member of the public who has concerns about a child's welfare or safety, and if that child is in Guernsey or Alderney, call a children's service social worker on 01481 223182. Out of office hours, contact the Emergency Duty Team on 01481 725241. In an emergency, please call the police on 999 or 112.
 

The Children Law (Guernsey and Alderney) 2008 states that all States Departments have a duty to work together and share information to ensure that children and young people get the services they require. This is also essential to protect children and young people from suffering harm, abuse or neglect and to prevent them from offending.

All island schools are required to comply with the Interagency Guidelines on Child Protection. These may be located at http://www.icpc.gg/

The guidelines emphasise that everyone has an important part to play in preventing the abuse of children, and in responding to situations where they think that a child may be suffering, or at risk of suffering from serious harm.

Therefore if we have concerns about a child or believe that a child has suffered or is likely to suffer serious harm then the Child Protection Officer (CPO) will make enquiries to the Multi-Agency Support Hub (MASH) using the MASH enquiry form.

Any concerns raised by members of staff in the school will be reported to the Headteacher and CPO, who will contact HSC colleagues as appropriate.

At St. Anne’s School the Child Protection Officers are:

Mrs Wendy Wilson
Ms Kim Smith

Operation Encompass 

St. Anne’s School is an Operation Encompass school.

Operation Encompass is a scheme that aims to provide immediate support for children and young people who are involved in or witness domestic abuse incidents. Early Years Providers, schools, and colleges in Guernsey and Alderney are participating in this scheme, which is run jointly with Bailiwick Law Enforcement.

Operation Encompass enables information to be shared with the Early Years Providers, schools, and colleges prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced any domestic abuse. This allows the settings to provide appropriate support, dependent on the needs and wishes of the child.

More information is available at: www.operationencompass.org.
