Child Protection Policy
 In Ballymena Nursery School, we consider our children to be
entitled to a safe, secure and loving environment, in which they
can enjoy the learning experiences provided. Protection of these
children is paramount.
'The fundamental principle in child care law and
practise is that the welfare of the child must always be the
paramount consideration in decisions taken about him or her'
(Principle of Paramountcy)
Our full policy statement for Child Protection is available
from the school at any time. We would refer present parents to
their 'Parent's handbook' distributed at the beginning of the year
also. |
