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
