Child Protection Policy Exemplar

CP Policy Annexe – Covid-19 FINAL HF[27141]

Sent on behalf of Joanna Cassey, Service Director for Education, Children’s Services Directorate

Dear Colleagues

Please find attached the annex for the Buckinghamshire Council Model Child Protection Policy which has been co-produced between staff from Education, Social Care and headteacher reps; this annex addresses recent guidance set out by the DfE for schools operating under the current restrictions.

It is intended that the policy will need to be personalised by each school and is designed to complement – not replace – the latest versions of Keeping Children Safe in Education, Working Together and your current Child Protection Policy.

Please be aware that this document is designed to work with the model policy issued by Buckinghamshire in September 2019; if you have written your Child Protection Policy using different sources then you will need to ensure that this annex reflects your main policy.

With very best wishes
Jo
