Visitors Guide to Child Protection at WKEYC.
Should you be concerned about any child, either within our Early Years Classes please ensure you pass your concerns on to our Child Protection Coordinator, Angela Pisani Early Years Manager immediately or at your earliest convenience. Should they be unavailable you can contact any member of the Senior Management Team within the Early Years Centre or a Senior Manager from the telephone list supplied at the end of the booklet.
Within this booklet you will find information on areas of significant harm that some of our children may be subject to. Please take time to read over this booklet; it will help you to be more aware of the ‘small things’ around us. Should you have any concerns please do not hesitate to speak with the Early Years Manager.
