1 EXTRACT Duties related to safeguarding Questions to ask Governance handbook For academies, multi-academy trusts and maintained schools January 2017
2 Governance Handbook (January 2017) Extract: Duties related to safeguarding 5. Compliance with statutory and contractual requirements, through: plans to ensure that key duties are undertaken effectively across the organisation such as safeguarding, inclusion, special education needs and disability (SEND), and monitoring and oversight of the impact of pupil premium and other targeted funding streams. Are plans in place to ensure that the key safeguarding duties are being undertaken? How does the Governing Body know these plans are effective? 2.3 Decision making 8. In most cases it is for the board to decide whether to task individuals to take a particular lead interest to support decision making in certain areas. However, all boards should have an individual to take leadership responsibility for the organisation s safeguarding arrangements, which include the Prevent duty. Has a member of the governing body been identified to lead on safeguarding? 3.2 Creating accountability for educational performance 9. Effective boards hold their executive leaders to account for improving pupil and staff performance by asking the right questions. It is essential that boards use, and are familiar with, specific data about their school(s) to help inform these questions. This might include asking: How is the school ensuring that it keeps pupils safe from, and building their resilience to, the risks of extremism and radicalisation? What arrangements are in place to ensure that staff understand and are implementing the Prevent duty? To what extent is this a happy school with a positive learning culture? What is the school s record on attendance, behaviour and bullying? Are safeguarding procedures securely in place? What is being done to address any current issues, and how will it know if it is working? Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 2
3 4.2 Training and development 24. All boards are responsible for identifying the induction and other ongoing training and development they need including for those with specific responsibilities such as the lead on safeguarding including Prevent. They should set aside a budget for this purpose. Maintained schools should liaise with LAs where appropriate. What evaluation has taken place to establish the Governing Body s capacity to carry out their safeguarding duties and responsibilities? What training have members of the Governing Body had to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to effectively evaluate the safeguarding and child protection arrangements in the school? Governance handbook (January 2017) For academies, multi-academy trusts and maintained schools 6.7 Safeguarding and pupil welfare 152. Section 175 of the Education Act 2002, and regulations under section 157 relating to safeguarding pupils in independent schools, place a duty on the boards of maintained schools and academy trusts to have arrangements in place to ensure that they: carry out their functions with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; and have regard to the statutory guidance issued by the Secretary of State in considering what arrangements they need to make for the purpose of that section The statutory guidance, Keeping Children Safe in Education, places requirements on all boards. Boards must ensure their schools have effective safeguarding policies and procedures in place that take into account local risks, any statutory guidance issued by the Secretary of State, any LA guidance and locally agreed inter-agency Procedures. What are the local risks for children at the school? Does the safeguarding policy reflect local risks? 155. To be effective, all schools should work in a multi-agency way with other organisations, share and receive information about individual children in order Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 3
4 to protect them from harm. As such all schools should have regard to the statutory guidance set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children If the school needs further safeguarding advice, advice on designing policies or on what to include in them, or safeguarding training they should contact their Local Safeguarding Children s Boards (LSCB). This is in addition to having regard to Keeping Children Safe in Education. What links are there with the local safeguarding children board? Who is the education representative on the LSCB? 157. Keeping Children Safe in Education and Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015 both set out that an individual on the board should take leadership responsibility for the organisation s wider safeguarding arrangements, which include the Prevent duty. However, it is also helpful if everyone on the board has training about safeguarding, to make sure they have the knowledge and information needed to perform their functions and understand their responsibilities. Has a member of the governing body been identified to lead on safeguarding? Do all members of the Governing Body have the knowledge and information to perform their duties? How do you know? What steps need to be taken to develop governors knowledge further? 158. Boards should also make sure that a senior member of the school s leadership team is designated to take lead responsibility for dealing with safeguarding issues; providing advice and support to other staff; liaising with the LA; and working with other agencies. Full details are available in Annex B of Keeping Children Safe in Education. Has a member of the school s Senior Leadership Team been designated to lead on safeguarding? 159. The UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) Education Group has developed guidance to help boards support their school leaders to keep Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 4
5 children safe online. This is guidance only and should be read alongside Keeping Children Safe in Education. Has the UKCCIS guidance on managing sexting incidents been understood by the governing body? Do school staff, especially the DSL, understand the guidance and is it applied in relevant situations? Allegations of abuse made against other children 160. Boards and staff should recognise that children are capable of abusing their peers and ensure their child protection policy includes procedures to minimise the risk of peer on peer abuse and sets out how allegations of peer on peer abuse will be investigated and dealt with. The policy should reflect the different forms peer on peer abuse can take, make clear that abuse is abuse and should never be tolerated or passed off as banter or part of growing up. It should be clear as to how victims of peer on peer abuse will be supported Peer on peer abuse can manifest itself in many ways. Boards should ensure sexting and the organisation s approach to it is reflected in the child protection policy. The department provides searching screening and confiscation advice for schools. The UKCCIS Education Group has published sexting advice for schools and colleges Boards should ensure the child protection policy reflects the different gender issues that can be prevalent when dealing with peer on peer abuse. This could, for example, include girls being sexually touched/assaulted or boys being subject to initiation/hazing type violence. Does the school s Safeguarding and Child Protection policy reflect the guidance given in the UKCCIS guidance? Allegations made against teachers and other staff 163. Part 4 of Keeping Children safe in Education sets out the procedures all schools must have in place for dealing with allegations Schools should ensure that all staff understand, and their procedures make clear, that all allegations should be reported straight away, normally to the case manager [usually the headteacher]. Schools should make available to staff the contact details for the Designated Officer (DO) [at the Local Authority, and often known as the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO)] responsible for providing advice and monitoring cases. Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 5
6 Do all staff understand how to raise a concern about another adult in the school? Are confidential records kept of concerns about staff members? Is it clear how to contact the Chair of Governors in the event of a concern about the headteacher? Safe recruitment procedures 167. A key aspect of safeguarding is the vetting of applicants and prospective volunteers working with children to ensure they are not unsuitable. Guidance about these requirements is set out in Keeping Children safe in Education. Are all applicants to paid posts and volunteer positions subject to the all the appropriate vetting checks? 168. The statutory guidance Disqualification under the Childcare Act 2006 provides information to help schools and local authorities to understand their responsibilities under the Childcare Act 2006 where staff are working in childcare provision in schools. Do all relevant members of staff understand Disqualification under the Childcare Act 2006 and have they been asked to self-declare that they are not disqualified from working with children under 8? Is a record kept of the self-declarations, whether positive or not? The Prevent duty 170. From 1 July 2015 all schools are subject to a duty under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, in the exercise of their functions, to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. This duty is known as the Prevent duty. Do all members of the Governing Body understand all aspects of the Prevent Duty, and its application to risks manifest in the local area, as well as nationally and internationally? Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 6
7 Does the school ensure that British Values are an integral part of the school s curriculum? 6.8 Pupil wellbeing Promoting the general wellbeing of pupils 174. The Education and Inspections Act 2006 places a duty on boards of maintained schools to promote wellbeing. Wellbeing is defined in the Children Act 2004 as: physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing; protection from harm and neglect; education, training and recreation; the contribution children make to society; and social and economic wellbeing. How does the school ensure that it promotes the well-being of pupils? How does the Governing Body assess whether this work is effective? 176. The guidance Mental health and behaviour in schools addresses how schools could identify and support pupils whose behaviour suggests they may have unmet mental health needs. How does the school identify pupils mental health needs, both recognised and unmet? What specific steps does the school take to support vulnerable students and the mental health needs? Pupil voice 177. The term pupil voice refers to ways of listening to the views of pupils and/or involving them in decision-making. The expressions learner voice or consulting pupils may also be used. How are the views of pupils sought? Is there are forum for taking the views of students, for example, a School Council? Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 7
8 6.8.3 Behaviour and discipline 182. Maintained school boards must make sure that their school has policies designed to promote good behaviour and discipline among pupils. These policies must include the school s approach to the use of reasonable force to control or restrain pupils. Guidance on reasonable force for headteachers, staff and boards has been published on GOV.UK. Maintained schools should not have a no contact policy. Does the school have a policy on reasonable force? How often is reasonable force used in the school? How many pupils are affected by the use of reasonable force? How is the use of reasonable force monitored? Are there staff who have specific training in the use of reasonable force? School attendance 191. All boards must reassure themselves that the school keeps admission and attendance registers in accordance with regulations. Guidance on school attendance has been published by the Department of Education Guidance on children missing education is available and all boards must be aware of the requirements placed on them by the statutory guidance Keeping Children safe in Education. What is the procedure for locating pupils who appear to be missing education? What support is put in place for any pupils who have been missing on more than one occasion? Pupil health and safety 201. Information about the law on pupil health and safety is in guidance on Health and Safety for Schools. This advice summarises health and safety law relevant to schools and explains how it affects boards as well as local authorities, executive leaders and other school staff. It covers activities that take place on school premises as well as school trips. The advice applies to Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 8
9 academies and maintained schools. Where the school is the employer, the board must make sure that the school has a policy on health and safety. What steps are there to ensure the health and safety of pupils onsite and offsite? How is pupil safety monitored and reviewed? Do post-event debriefs to place in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the risk assessment, and inform future risk assessments? Supporting pupils in school with additional health needs 203. Some pupils have additional health needs and may require medicines, adaptations or support to keep well. Boards must oversee the development of policies that cover their own circumstances. Having an additional health needs policy (or including information in health and safety and/or SEND policies) helps ensure consistent arrangements are in place. Where the school is the employer the board will be directly responsible for the policy. For other schools, the LA will usually delegate the responsibility. The policy should address emergency procedures, training, supervision, record keeping, including storage and disposal. It should also set up a named staff member to coordinate health care needs and to link with parents. Do pupils with additional health needs have individual plans to ensure that their needs are appropriately, and safely, met? Are effective records kept when dispensing medication? First aid 204. Where they are the employer, boards have overall responsibility for first aid under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations The regulations set out first aid provision in the work place, and require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and qualified first aid personnel. It is recommended that schools treat pupils as if they were employees for the purposes of first aid and provide first aid materials and expertise as appropriate, based on a first aid needs assessment. The LA may delegate this responsibility where it is the employer. Where schools have early years provision at least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises and available at all times when children are present, and must accompany children on outings. Providers should take into account Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 9
10 the number of children, staff and layout of premises to ensure that a paediatric first aider is able to respond to emergencies quickly. Has a First Aid needs assessment been completed? Is there an appropriately qualified First Aiders always available? What arrangements are there for First Aid when pupils are off-site? Are First Aider arrangements in place for higher risk activities, for example, rugby matches? School security 205. In community, voluntary-controlled and community special schools, the responsibility to make the school secure ultimately rests with the LA as employer. However, it may delegate these duties to the schools. With all other maintained schools, as well as academies, responsibility rests with the school. Is the school secure, during the teaching day, and at busy times, for example, when the school opens, and at the end of the school day? How are the school entrances supervised or otherwise managed to prevent unauthorised people entering, or pupils leaving, without being observed All schools have a common law power to bar troublesome people from the school premises. Boards of foundation, voluntary-aided and foundation special schools also have a power under section 547 of the Education Act 1996 to authorise someone to remove from school premises any intruder causing a disturbance or nuisance. In community and voluntary-controlled schools, the LA exercises this power unless it is delegated to the school. This power of removal also extends to academies. Guidance on this power is on GOV.UK Schools using automated biometric recognition systems should be aware of their legal duties under the Protection of Freedoms Act Guidance about these duties is on GOV.UK. Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 10
11 Is there a school policy for automated biometric recognition where it is in use in the school? Is CCTV used appropriately, and is it monitored securely to prevent misuse? If CCTV is in use is the school registered with the Information Commissioner s Office? Fire safety 208. Boards of all schools must reassure themselves that annual risk assessments are carried out to make sure that the fire precautions needed in the school are in place. Has annual risk assessment been carried out with regard to fire precautions? Playground supervision 209. The number of adults who should be in charge of pupils during lunch and other breaks should be determined locally by the school, having assessed risks and making sure that competent supervisors are available Promoting community cohesion 210. There is a duty for schools to promote community cohesion under the Education and Inspections Act The board decides how to fulfil this duty in the light of their local circumstances Section 5 inspections and short inspections 18. Standard school inspections of maintained schools and academies are carried out under section 5 of the Education Act Details of the inspection process and criteria are set out in Ofsted s Inspections content, School inspection handbook and Inspecting safeguarding in early years education and skills from September Governance-Handbook-Extract-Safeguarding-QUESTIONS-TO-ASK.docx Page 11
