Safeguarding
Every school in Lincolnshire is required to follow a set procedure in cases of suspected child abuse. Headteachers are required to refer their concerns to the Lincolnshire Customer Services Team for further investigation so that children at risk can be identified quickly.
This procedure is intended to protect children from abuse. When a school refers a concern about a pupil to the Customer Service Team/Social Services it is not accusing the parents/carers of abuse but requesting that further investigation takes place to establish whether a child is at risk.
