Induction Steps
- Read these key points:
- Please sign-in when you come into school.
- If the fire alarm ever goes off, make your way to the playgound at the back of the school.
- If you see or hear anything that may be a concern, you must tell a member of staff quickly. Examples include: a child telling you that they are being hurt; a child or adult acting inappropriately, or; a child hurting another child.
- Remember, even as a volunteer, you are acting in the capacity of a member of staff. You need to remain professional and behave how a member of staff would. You’ll need to agree to our code of conduct – this is how you will behave when at school or around children.
- Don’t put yourself in a vulnerable place with a child (for example, in a cupboard or toilet). You should not be alone with a child.
- Please dress appropriately! If you can see up it, down it, or through it, it’s probably not acceptable!
- For safeguarding reasons, we may need to complete a DBS for you. We’ll take details in the form in Step 3.
- Please complete this form to acknowledge that you aren’t disqualified working with children.
- Read KCSIE, and our child protection and safeguarding policies HERE (If you struggle with reading, you may wish to watch the safeguarding videos below.)
- Finally, complete this form after reading/completing the steps above.
