Child Protection
Children and young people must be ‘protected from all forms of violence, abuse, neglect and bad treatment’ (Article 19, UNCRC)
At Marr College, we are committed to ensuring that robust child protection responses are in place . Our approach to child protection is set within the 'Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC)' approach to planning and providing support and care to children and families.
Everyone who works with children and families has a role in making sure children are safe and well. We also have a dedicated team of senior staff who have specific responsibilities when they become aware that a child is being harmed or is at risk of harm.
Our focus is on prevention and early intervention to help ensure that risk and harm to children and young people is recognised and dealt with quickly and effectively.
