We are committed to protect children from harm. Our dental team accepts and recognises our responsibilities to develop awareness of the issues which cause children harm.

 

We will endeavour to safeguard children by:

 

• adopting child protection guidelines through procedures and a code of conduct for the dental team
• making staff and patients aware that we take child protection seriously and respond to concerns about the welfare of children
• sharing information about concerns with agencies who need to know and involving parents and children appropriately
• following carefully the procedures for staff recruitment and selection
• providing effective management for staff by ensuring access to supervision, support and training

 

We are also committed to reviewing our policy and good practice at regular intervals.
