What happens next ...
You decided that you need to explore this further with Daniel. So the next day, you take him to a quiet area and ask him more about what the ‘bad man’ does when he is naughty.
Please play the video to hear what Daniel tells you and decide what you should do next by choosing one of the three options below.
What's your next step?
Option 1: You email your manager to ask when she will be in the nursery as you have something that you need to discuss with her as soon as possible.
Option 2: You follow your organisation’s policies and procedures about reporting and recording child protection concerns. You also immediately contact the relevant people and agencies in line with these policies and procedures.
Option 3: You want to ensure that you have as much information as possible before you report your concerns, so you telephone Daniel’s mother and ask her to come to the nursery for a meeting.
