To comply with regulation 18 of the CQC (Registration) Regulations 2009.
To ensure awareness of wider safeguarding powers.

We have a local set of guidelines for child abuse reporting and as such this takes presidencies over our own policy. The local policy is contained in our policies and procedures in the office.
The local Policy is designed to support all staff within Barnsley whatever their role in the organisation and whoever they work with, in fulfilling their legal duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
The policy highlights the main aims which agencies must ensure they follow
Take all reasonable measures to ensure that they minimise risk of harm to the welfare of children
Take appropriate action when there are child protection concerns, by or working to agreed local policies and procedures, in full partnership with other agencies
