He must have expected a report that silenced all comers. Instead he is holding a colander of no bloody use to anyone, and Carlile's 'safeguarding lite' experience has brought almost no improvement to the useless safeguarding policy.<br /><br />The devil is in the detail! And Carlile does not have it. <br /> <br />More amazingly still Cleugh, an Additional Inspector for the Independent Schools Inspectorate, seems unable to recognise a credible safeguarding policy. What has he been doing during his inspections of other settings? Such policies do exist although I admit they are rare. <br /><br />And let’s not forget his interview with the man from BBC Inside Out :<br /><br />Reporter:“How confident are you that if there are further accusations that they <b><i>will</i></b> be properly reported because in the past they haven’t been?<br /><br />Cleugh: “I absolutely believe they totally <b><i>would</i></b> be reported. As soon as something is referred to a child protection officer he <b><i>would</i></b> immediately go to social services and they would give us the advice on the way forward but there <b><i>would</i></b> certainly be no cover up about anything within the school.”<br /><br />All he needed to say is that was: <br /><br />All allegations <b><i>will</i></b> be reported to the LADO and this is engrossed into our child protection policy. <br /><br />But the ISI inspector seemed unable to say these words.<br /><br />Why not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
