Job Description For Designated Person

[Guest]

Hi

My supervisor has to add this now to her job description and before i start the task of inventing one i wondered if anyone had one they could let me see and maybe use?

 

We are trying to also put tog a booklet for staff to have. What do you think should be included. Things so far we have got

 

background to law

signs of abuse

policies - safeguarding/professional abuse/whistleblowing

documentation

important tel no

 

I have also put tog a littl "quiz" which we are going to do to show us just exactly how much we know!

 

Thanks

If you have fairly inexperienced staff who have not been on training perhaps you could include some advice on thresholds to help them judge when to take immediate action and when to just make a note of it.

cannot help with job description, but there is a document on safeguarding which may help found on Devon document bank

 

this may also be of help its what we gave all our staff..

 

I am sure I had others but cannot find them at moment if they come to minf I will add them

I assume you have checked but our LA provides a booklet similar to the one you describe, and a quiz actually now I come to think about it! It is not provided through the early years team but from the Safeguarding Children Board. Might be worth asking them if you haven't to save you reinventing the wheel.
