Physical harm may also be caused when a parent or carer fabricates the symptoms of, or deliberately induces, illness in a child\u2019<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Emotional<\/strong> <strong>Abuse: <\/strong>\u2018The persistent emotional maltreatment of a child such as to cause severe and persistent adverse effects on the child\u2019s emotional development. It may involve conveying to a child that they are worthless or unloved, inadequate, or valued only insofar as they meet the needs of another person. It may include not giving the child opportunities to express their views, deliberately silencing them or \u2018making fun\u2019 of what they say or how they communicate. It may feature age or developmentally inappropriate expectations being imposed on children. These may include interactions that are beyond a child\u2019s developmental capability, as well as overprotection and limitation of exploration and learning, or preventing the child participating in normal social interaction. It may involve seeing \u00a0or hearing the ill-treatment of another. It may involve serious bullying (including cyber bullying), causing children frequently to feel frightened or in danger, or the exploitation or corruption of children. Some level of emotional abuse is involved in all types of maltreatment of a child, though it may occur alone\u2019.<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Sexual<\/strong> <strong>Abuse<\/strong>: \u2018Involves forcing or enticing a child or young person to take part in sexual activities, not necessarily involving a high level of violence, whether or not the child\u00a0 is\u00a0 aware\u00a0 of what is happening. The activities may involve physical contact, including assault by penetration (for example, rape or oral sex) or non- penetrative acts such as masturbation, kissing, rubbing and touching outside of clothing. They may also include non-contact activities, such as involving children in looking at, or in the production of, sexual images, watching sexual activities, encouraging children to behave in sexually inappropriate ways, or grooming a child in preparation for abuse (including via the internet). Sexual abuse is not solely perpetrated by adult males. Women can also commit acts of sexual abuse, as can other children.\u2019<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Neglect<\/strong>: \u2018The persistent failure to meet a child\u2019s basic physical and\/or psychological needs, likely to result in the serious impairment of the child\u2019s health or development. Neglect may occur during pregnancy as a result of maternal substance abuse. Once a child is born, neglect may involve a parent or carer failing to:<\/p><ul class=\"testo\"><li>provide adequate food, clothing and shelter (including exclusion from home or abandonment);<\/li><li>protect a child from physical and emotional harm or danger;<\/li><li>ensure adequate supervision (including the use of inadequate care-givers);<\/li><li>or ensure access to appropriate medical care or treatment<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"testo\">It may also include neglect of, or unresponsiveness to, a child\u2019s basic emotional needs.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">(Taken from \u2018Working Together to Safeguard Children\u2019, March 2013, Department of Education, HM Government, Appendix A, Page 85-86)<\/p><p class=\"testo\">Of course, these four different types of abuse often manifest themselves through different signs and symptoms, and it is important that all staff and volunteers know what they are and are able to recognise them:<\/p><p

Try to ensure that one-to-one interviews are in rooms with glass doors, record and have countersigned all records of conversations and never offer students lifts in your own vehicles. Make sure other adults visit the room occasionally. Be careful about sharing jokes, use of inappropriate language and physical contact. Do not give out your personal phone number or email address. Do not arrange to meet students outside of school hours and do not chat to pupils on social networking sites.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">While a young person can consent to sexual activity once they reach the age of 16, under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, it would be a criminal offence for an adult in a position of trust to engage in any kind of sexual activity with a person under 18.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">Staff working directly with children should not use mobile phones as it is inappropriate and distracts them from paying full attention to the \u00a0children \u00a0in their care. Calls, therefore, should be taken and \u00a0made \u00a0during \u00a0break \u00a0times unless there is an emergency.<\/p><ul class=\"testo\"><li>Users \u00a0bringing mobile phones into school should ensure that there is no inappropriate or illegal content on the device<\/li><li>Personal mobile phones should not be used to take any images of a Any photos of children taken \u00a0should be for school purposes only and with agreement with the appropriate person.<\/li><li>Personal cameras should not be brought into Only the designated school\u2019s cameras should be used to take images of the children.

Once downloaded onto the school system images on school cameras should be deleted. Photographs should not be distributed or shown outside of school.<\/li><li>Children using school cameras to take photographs should be supervised.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"testo\">Photographs taken for the purpose of recording a child or group of children participating in activities or celebrating their achievements is an effective form of recording children\u2019s progression.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Missing Person Procedure<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\">In \u00a0the \u00a0unlikely \u00a0event \u00a0that \u00a0a \u00a0student \u00a0can \u00a0not \u00a0be \u00a0located, \u00a0the \u00a0Missing \u00a0Person Procedure is immediately followed.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">Staff should attempt to contact the student directly through the recorded contact number provided. Next local friends of the missing student will be contacted and their group leader. If the student still hasn\u2019t been contacted, a thorough search of the site will ensue. If this does not prove successful, the Centre Manager will become involved. He\/she will have the responsibility of assessing the situation and deciding when to contact the police.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Bullying<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\">The school accepts that it is the basic entitlement of all students to receive an education free from humiliation, oppression and abuse. The school also recognises its responsibility to create a secure and safe environment for all students in its care so that parents may send their children to school in the confident knowledge that they will be protected from all forms of bullying.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">Bullying may be defined as the wilful, conscious desire to hurt, threaten \u00a0or frighten someone. It can involve physical or verbal attacks, name calling, malicious gossip, damaging or stealing the property of the victim or coercing the victim into acts which she\/he does not wish to do. Physical assault in varying degrees of severity is distressing but verbal abuse is also painful.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Identifying and dealing with bullying<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\">Teachers should watch for early signs of distress in students \u2013 deterioration of work, spurious illness, isolation, the desire to remain with adults. Whilst this behaviour may be symptomatic of other problems, it may be the early signs of bullying.<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><em>If a student or guardian reports a case of bullying to you:<\/em><\/p><ul class=\"testo\"><li>listen carefully and record all incidents<\/li><li>offer the \u00a0victim \u00a0immediate \u00a0support \u00a0and \u00a0help \u00a0by \u00a0putting \u00a0the \u00a0school\u2019s procedures into action.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"testo\">Teachers can help by intervening, even if they only suspect that someone is being bullied. For example, a bullied child might be paired with a more popular child or group of children so that they are helped to become part of the group. Gangs of bullies can be split up. Group work aimed at encouraging interdependency should be encouraged. Areas in which a victim is successful can be built on to increase self-confidence.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Preventative measures<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\">MLA aims to create a co-operative ethos through its pastoral structure, teaching methods and inter-personal relationships. MLA endeavours to provide adequate supervision of classrooms and other areas of the school accessible to students, at all times. In addition, the school accommodation areas are supervised at all times of the day and night.<\/p><p class=\"testo\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"testo\"><strong>Referral system and procedure<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"testo\">Isolated incidents of bullying or suspicions of bullying may be dealt with by the teacher\/tutor.
