Dear all You may be aware that Bill Rammell the Minister for State for Lifelong learning & F & HE has written to all institutions asking us what we do about child protection for under 18s (e.g. on courses, attending summer schools and other outreach activities) reply required by 31st October. Apparently the FE guidance doc (we in HE are told to follow it where poss until HE guidance is out) is at: http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/familyandcommunity/childprotection/ One of the questions which has arisen for us concerns what additional training colleagues need if they take on responsibility for people under 18. Dare I ask if anyone has that info to hand? regards, Deb Deb Viney, Diversity Advisor, Deputy Secretary's Office, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London Tel: 020 7074 5007 Fax: 020 7074 5019 Email: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] Visiting Address: Postal Address: Vernon Square Thornhaugh Street 1 Penton Rise Russell Square LONDON LONDON WC1X 9EW WC1H 0XG
