agency, completing an EHAF or referral to another agency. Have these actions been followed through? If meetings relating to the child and their family have been called did school: i) send a report if requested ii) send a representative iii) receive minutes of the meeting iv) complete any actions they were assigned by the meeting v) ensure that other key people in school were aware of any important issues. If injuries to the child have been noted by school, did staff use the body map recording form and were the records clear? Moving between schools can be a time of risk as children may be leaving a school where they and their family are known well, to attend one where they may not be known. It would be wise to include in the audit a consideration of a child who has ‘moved in’ recently and one who has ‘moved out’. i) If the pupil concerned has transferred in from another school is there evidence that the Senior Designated Person from this school and previous school discussed the pupil at transfer and that a note was made of that discussion. ii) For a pupil of concern who moved out recently did the Senior Designated Person make contact with the new Senior Designated Person at the new school? Is there a note to that effect? Was the pupil’s concern file delivered to the new school? Is there evidence that the file was received? Learning from the audit An audit such as this is not intended to be a ‘box ticking exercise’. The purpose is to understand how well staff fulfil their duties in relation to safeguarding in terms of how well records are maintained. Following the audit there should be a discussion about any strengths and weaknesses identified. The intention is not to criticise any individual member of staff but to see what lessons the school community, as a whole, needs to learn. The lessons from the audit can be fed back to all staff using the school’s normal staff training or briefing routes.
