Late Collection/Uncollected Children Arrangements
In the event of a child not being collected at the end of a session, the school wishes to cause as little distress as possible to the child and to the family. At the same time, the school needs to ensure the health and safety of the child is not put at risk.
If a child is not collected at the end of a session the procedure will be as follows:
- The register will be checked for any information regarding collection of the child
- If no information is available, attempts will be made to contact parents/carers at home or at work as appropriate.
- If the above is unsuccessful, attempts will be made to contact emergency numbers on our records.
- Attempts will be made to contact the parents/carers in any other reasonable way e.g. another parent.
- Staff will not allow the child to leave school with anyone other than those specified by parents.
- If staff are in any doubt about the safety of the child, the child will remain in the care of the group.
- If none of the above procedures are successful and the child is not collected within 30 minutes of the end of the school day (unless a message is received), Social Services may be contacted.
- If a child is uncollected on a few occasions, details will be recorded and the relevant welfare agencies may be contacted.
