Kim is the nursery’s Safeguarding Officer.
Since opening the nursery Kim has gained a wealth of experience in working in a multi-agency team and has gained a wide knowledge of dealing with various situations and supported families by working closely with them.
Kim also ensures that the teams knowledge is strong so that all staff are aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse which means we can ensure that no child in our care will go uncared for or abused to the best of our abilities.
This means we work closely with families and report any concerns as soon as possible to ensure the welfare of the child.
The role of the Designated Safeguarding Person was specified in the Children’s Act of 2004 and ensured that every organisation had a ‘named person’ for safeguarding children and young people. Prior to that, the role had frequently been known as the Child Protection Officer.
The Designated Safeguarding Person has a responsibility at both a strategic level within the organisation and on a day to day basis.
