All staff are aware that mental health problems can be an indicator that a child has suffered or is at risk of suffering abuse, neglect or exploitation.

​

Where children have suffered abuse and neglect, or other potentially traumatic adverse childhood experiences, this can have a lasting impact throughout childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.

​

If a member of staff has a mental health concern that is also a safeguarding concern they will follow our Safeguarding Policy and procedures.
