Denial of hunger despite lack of food Feeling distressed or guilty after eating Self-dislike Fear of gaining weight Moodiness Excessive performance Staff Roles: The most important role staff can play is to familiarise themselves with the risk factors and warning signs outlined above and to make the Safeguarding Officers; Education manager or House manager aware of any young person causing concern. Following the report, the designated person will decide on the appropriate course of action. This may include: Contacting parents/carers Arranging professional assistance Arranging an appointment with a counsellor Arranging a referral to CAHMs Pupils may choose to confide in a member of staff if they are concerned about their welfare or that of a peer. Pupils need to be made aware that it may not be possible for staff to offer complete confidentiality. If you consider a young person is at serious risk of causing themselves harm then confidentiality cannot be kept. Pupils Undergoing Treatment for/Recovering from Eating Disorders The decision about how, or if, to proceed with a pupil’s schooling while they are suffering from an eating disorder should be made on a case by case basis. Input for this decision should come from discussion with the pupil, their parents/carers, school staff and members of the multi-disciplinary team treating the pupil during both the planning and reintegration stage Further Considerations Any meetings or conversations with a pupil, their parents/carer or their peers regarding eating disorders should be recorded in writing on the carer’s overview sheet.

SAFEGUARDING AND CHILD PROTECTION POLICY FOR THE JAMES HORNSBY SCHOOL APPROVED BY GOVERNORS – May 2018 POLICY TO BE REVIEWED – May 2019 DESIGNATED SAFEGUARDING LEAD: Tammy Nicholls DEPUTY DESIGNATED SAFEGUARDING LEAD: David Back DESIGNATED SAFEGUARDING GOVERNOR: Linda Jeffery CONTENTS Purpose Introduction School Policy Framework Roles and Responsibilities of abuse Procedures Training and Support Professional Confidentiality Monitoring and Information Sharing
will organise child protection and safeguarding induction, regularly updated training and a minimum of annual updates (including online safety) for all school staff, keep a record of attendance and address any absences; will contribute to and provide, with the Headteacher and Chair of Governors, the “Audit of Statutory Duties and Associated Responsibilities” to be submitted annually to the Education Safeguarding Team at Surrey County Council; has an understanding of locally agreed processes for providing early help and intervention and will support members of staff where Early Help is appropriate; will ensure that the name of the Designated Safeguarding Lead and deputies, are clearly advertised in the school, with a statement explaining the school’s role in referring and monitoring cases of suspected abuse.
Physical Sexual Financial Emotional This definition includes so-called `honour` based violence, female genital mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage, and is clear that victims are not confined to one gender or ethnic group. Domestic abuse is a safeguarding children issue and statistics show that in 90% of cases children are present in a household during a domestic abuse incident. Often the following day children are to deal with the school day. Encompass is a partnership between Greater Manchester Police, (in Bolton this is the (PPIU) Police Protection Investigation Unit), Bolton Safeguarding Children Board and designated school staff, known as Key Adults. Working together to safeguard children, Greater Manchester Police will inform the Key Adults within schools about any domestic abuse incident where the child or young person has been present. This will enable the school to take appropriate steps to support their pupil during what could be an emotionally difficult day. Key adults within the school are then able to accommodate the school day to lessen the impact and to support the child if they need it. In its simplest form, they are given some leeway, comfort and support. This can make a huge difference to children and allows them to have a safe space (see flow chart below). BOLTONS OPERATION ENCOMPASS FLOW CHILDREN WITH SEXUALLY HARMFUL BEHAVIOUR Children may be harmed by other children or young people. Staff will be aware of the harm caused by bullying and will use the school’s anti-bullying procedures where necessary. However, there will be occasions when a child’s behaviour warrants a response under child protection rather than anti-bullying procedures. In particular, research suggests that up to 30 per cent of child sexual abuse is committed by someone under the age of 18.

7.4. Healthcare professionals may meet and treat children and young people who are vulnerable to radicalisation because they may have a heightened susceptibility to being influenced by others. 7.5. The key challenge for the health sector is to be vigilant for signs that someone has been or is being drawn into terrorism. GPs and their staff are the first point of contact for most people and are in a prime position to safeguard those people they feel may be at risk of radicalisation. 7.6 Practice staff who have concerns that someone may be becoming radicalised should seek advice and support from the Safeguarding Lead and dedicated PREVENT Lead. 7.7. The Designated Professional for Adult Safeguarding acts as the PREVENT lead for General Practice and advises on concerns following the referral pathway in line with the policy and procedure. Advice can also be obtained from the Named GP, Nurse Consultant or Designated Nurse for Safeguarding Children.

APPENDIX 1 Safeguarding Agendas (Included in this section are national and local hyperlinks to policy) • Bullying including Cyberbullying - bullying may be defined as deliberately hurtful behaviour, usually repeated over a period of time, it is difficult for those bullied to protect themselves. It can take many forms but the main types are: physical (e.g. hitting, kicking, theft) verbal (e.g. racist or homophobic remarks, threats, name-calling) emotional (e.g. isolating an individual from the activities and social acceptance of their peer group) “The damage inflicted by bullying (including cyberbullying via the internet) can frequently be underestimated. It can cause considerable distress to children, to the extent that it affects their health and development or, at the extreme, causes them significant harm (including self-harm). Information and Communication Technology (ICT), now more commonly referred to as Digital Technology, enables children and young people to learn, play, communicate and explore the world in fantastic new ways and many children and young people are now skilled in using digital technology including computers, tablets, mobile phones and gaming machines. However, with this new technology there are new risks it is important we have understanding around prevention . Everyone who is responsible for the welfare and safety of children needs to understand what these risks are and how we can all work together to enjoy these new technologies safely. "As in any other area of life, children and young people are vulnerable and may expose themselves to danger - knowingly or unknowingly - when using the internet and other digital technologies. Indeed, some young people may find themselves involved in activities which are inappropriate or possibly illegal. (Section 6C) • Sexting (Youth produced sexual imagery) - Sexting is when a young person takes an indecent images of them self and sends this to their friends or boy / girlfriends via mobile phones. The problem is that once taken and sent, the sender has lost control of these images and these images could end up anywhere. They could be seen by your child’s future employers, their friends or even by paedophiles. The CEOP Command’s Thinkuknow programme provides resources, training and support for professionals who work directly with children and young people.

HAVE REGARD TO STATUTORY GUIDANCE ISSUES UNDER SECTION 29 OF THE CTSA 2015 (the prevent guidance) Paragraphs 57-76 of the Prevent guidance are concerned specifically with schools. Extremism many forms and all ideologies are included in this area of safeguarding: Islamic extremism Left wing extremism wing extremism Animal rights extremism The statutory Prevent guidance summarises the requirements on schools in terms of four general themes: risk assessment, working in partnership, staff training and IT policies. schools are expected to assess the risk of children being drawn into terrorism, including support for extremist ideas that are part of terrorist ideology. This means being able to demonstrate both a general understanding of the risks affecting children and young people in the area and a specific understanding of how to identify individual children who may be at risk of radicalisation. These procedures may be set out in existing safeguarding policies on implementing the Prevent Duty. The Prevent duty builds on existing local partnership arrangements. For example, governing bodies and proprietors of all schools should ensure that their safeguarding arrangements take into account the policies and procedures of Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) The Prevent guidance refers to the importance of Prevent awareness training to equip staff to identify children at risk of being drawn into terrorism and to challenge extremist ideas. Individual schools are best to assess the training needs of staff in the light of their assessment of the risk to pupils at the school of being drawn into terrorism. As a minimum however, schools should ensure that the designated safeguarding lead undertakes Prevent awareness training and is able to provide advice and support to other members of staff on protecting children from the risk of radicalisation. Acorn schools must ensure that children are safe from terrorist and extremist material when accessing the internet in schools. Schools should ensure that suitable filtering is in place. It is also important that schools teach pupils about E-Safety more generally. The Department for Education has also PUBLISHED ADVICE FOR SCHOOLS ON THE PREVENT DUTY. The advice is intended to complement the Prevent Guidance and signposts other sources of advice and support.
