Other things to know:
CHILD PROTECTION:
We have a moral and legal obligation to ensure that all children in our care are protected, and their health and welfare are safeguarded. Our staff are mandated to report any concerns. All staff in the service are vetted through the Access NI vetting unit and have the correct qualifications to work with children. We act to protect children from harm, which may arise. It is our duty in this case to question the cause of any behaviour, bumps, bruises, or unusual markings. Our main concern in the service is to safeguard and protect the welfare of children. We have a responsibility to identify report and record any suspicions of child abuse to The Pathway and to Social services (Early years Team). We have a responsibility to respond to all child protection concerns.
Separated and Divorced Parent/Guardian’s:
Married Parent/Guardian’s are automatically joint guardians of their children. Neither separation nor divorce changes this. By law, an unmarried mother is the automatic guardian of a child born outside of marriage. In some circumstances, unmarried fathers have automatic access. The service should be informed about access rights. Unmarried fathers will automatically become guardians of their children if they meet a cohabitation requirement. An unmarried father who cohabits for 12 months with the child’s mother, including 3 months following a child’s birth, will automatically become the child’s guardian. This provision is not retrospective, so guardianship will only be acquired automatically where the Parent/Guardian’s live together for at least 12 months (applies to children born after 18 January 2016.)
