Child Protection
Every school in Torfaen is required to follow a set procedure in relation to child protection issues.
Headteachers are required to refer any concerns to Social Services for further investigation so that children at risk can be quickly identified.
This procedure is intended to protect children from abuse. When a school refers a concern about a pupil to the Social Services Department, it is not accusing the parents of abuse but requesting that further investigation takes place to establish whether a child is at risk.
For further details please contact Social Services, Customer Services Section on 01495 762200
