I would definitely ring up Ofsted, not because you want to whistle blow - but because you have a genuine concern about child protection.

You will be able to hear with your own ears what and what is not allowed, it is first hand news instead of second hand news and shows how responsible a practitoner you are.

It's always better to be safe than sorry - I think you are right to err on the side of caution.

I've rung up Ofsted on occasions with queries and have always found them very helpful.

Thanks for all the advice i will give Ofsted a call. as this person is covering my position i think i need to find out a bit more.i cant get it through to the committee how important safeguarding is its so frustratingthanks again everyone
