Uncollected Children Policy

 

 

Procedure if a child is not collected

 

If a child is not collected within 1 hour, I will try calling the parents’ contact numbers. Then I will try the emergency contact numbers.

 

 

During this time, I will continue to safely look after the child. 

 

 

 

I will continue to try the parents’ contact numbers and emergency numbers, but after a reasonable amount of time – 3 hours from the original agreed collection time, I will then tell the local authority duty social worker.

Lost or missing children

 

 

 

Procedure if a child is lost or goes missing

 

 

 

 

I will safely supervise children when we go on outings or trips. I will teach the children about safety when we are out and about. 

 

 

 

But if a child goes missing, I will tell the police and search the area. Then, I will contact the parents and Ofsted.
