Section 1 together with Annexes A-C of the DfE guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education provides safeguarding information for all staff.

The NSPCC whistleblowing helpline is available as an alternative route for staff who do not feel able to raise concerns regarding child protection failures internally or have concerns about the way a concern is being handled by their school or setting.

In addition, your setting should also have a whistleblowing policy.
