Child Protection
In line with the Children Act 2004, Chiltern Training has a Safeguarding Children policy in place.  The full policy is available from our website www.chilterntraining.org or ask your Training Coordinator for a copy.  

This policy has been put in place to protect all learners under the age of 18 and to protect the children in the care of our learners.

Each learner and member of staff has a non-negotiable and absolute duty to protect the children and young person in our/their care from both intentional and unintentional harm. This duty applies to all workplace providers who train and employ persons under the age of 18. This duty is imperative.

Without adequate standards and mechanisms of protection in place, we would be failing as a childcare training provider in our primary duty of care. Our role as a training provider is to reduce the risk of abuse by ensuring that those who are unsuitable are not able to work with children or vulnerable adults.

As a part of our duty in protecting young people we will check that each work place has the appropriate procedures in place for protecting the young person and record evidence on the health and safety check carried out each year.  All CTL staff undergo Enhanced Criminal Record Bureau checks and will be registered with the ISA. Enhanced CRB checks will be completed for all learners who are non-employed status and subsequently the responsibility of CTL.

You will receive comprehensive Safeguarding Children training at your induction.  If you wish to speak to a member of staff about yourself or a child or young person you feel may be at risk please speak to your Training Coordinator, Tutor or a Manager at CTL.  Any issues will be dealt with confidentially and sensitively.
