Mandatory Reporting of Child Sexual Abuse (Including Information for Boarding Schools)

All registered teachers must report to the Mandatory Reporting Service of CPFS if they, in the course of their work, form a belief based on reasonable grounds that a child is being or has been sexually abused. This session unpacks what this means in practical terms and ensures that all staff are confident with the process of Mandatory Reporting, the indicators that might lead to a Report being made and what further actions the school can take. All teachers and other staff, including chaplains, counsellors, psychologists, education assistants and support staff, are strongly encouraged to attend.

Due to the subject matter, children (under 18 years) are not permitted to attend.
