Child Protection Policy Guide
Here is our guide to our Child Protection Policy. OEG and its brands aim to positively promote the well-being of children. In addition, we ensure that our candidates are fully aware of the procedures for Child Protection.
OEG’s policies and procedures adhere to the law as defined in the Children Act 1989. This is based on the guidance given by the Department of Health and the Department for Education. Also the Employment and the Home Office Document “Working Together Under the Children Act 1989”.
OEG wish to inform all candidates of the position outlined in the 1996 Education Act (Section 548) that any form of physical contact with a child in the form of corporal punishment is prohibited.
