The Federation of Darlington Nursery Schools

 

Visitors and Volunteers

The Federation welcomes visitors and volunteers into our schools. Visitors and volunteers bring with them a wealth of skills and experience that can enhance the learning opportunities of the children. 

  • We have a clear guide for volunteers in school and all volunteers undertake an induction with a senior member of staff
  • All volunteers are DBS checked in addition they complete the relevant application form and should provide two references
  • All volunteers who do not come into school regularly (e.g. open days, parent workshops) are supervised by a member of staff at all times
  • All work experience students are supervised by a member of staff and the relevant checks completed, including the Federation induction plan which is shared with the student
  • All key documents with regards to safeguarding and child protection are required to be read and acknowledged by our regular volunteers
  • All visitors are required to report to the main reception on arrival where they are met by members of the office staff and are asked to sign in
  • All visitors are supervised by a member of staff
  • All visitors are required to wear a school visitors lanyard
