All schools should have processes and procedures in place for dealing with allegations of abuse involving a member of staff. Our model child protection and safeguarding policy includes a model allegations against staff policy in appendix 3.

If you don't want to use our full safeguarding policy, or prefer to keep a separate policy on dealing with allegations of abuse made against staff, simply extract and adapt the model text in appendix 3.

Approved by Forbes Solicitors, this model document is designed for you to adapt to suit your school’s context.
