Concerns about any adult working at the school or setting.
If your concerns are about any adult working at the school, other than the headteacher, you should discuss them, without delay, with your headteacher (or principal). In the absence of the headteacher discuss your concerns with the Deputy Headteacher or the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
If your concerns are about the headteacher (or principal) you should discuss them, without delay, with the chair of governors (or chair of the management committee or proprietor of an independent school). If you do not feel comfortable in doing this, you can contact children’s services or the Local Authority’s Designated Officer via children’s services.
Either the headteacher or chair of governors (or chair of the management committee or proprietor of an independent school) should then act as the case manager.
