TEDDY

- Describe what happened
- Do not promise confidentiality
- Your responsibility is to contact a designated member of staff
- Listen carefully to what the child has to say. Avoid asking leading questions. Use TEDDY.
- Speak to one of the named child protection teachers above IMMEDIATELY and complete the school’s Cause for Concern form, handing it to either the lead or deputy lead teacher.
- Ensure you do not promise confidentiality to the child.
- In cases of FGM you need to remember your duty to report concerns to the police
