How does the programme manage safeguarding protocols?

The Hamish & Milo programme enables children to talk about sensitive feelings and experiences with an empathic and caring adult and sometimes there may be disclosures or concerns that arise. We totally promote and expect that safeguarding policies and practices in schools are followed and that designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) are made aware and appropriate action taken and protocols followed. The safety and wellbeing of all children are paramount to our whole approach and to our beliefs. We also recommend that facilitating staff have received training in safeguarding and are clear about policy and practice within their school.
