COVID-19 Declaration Form

We have had a period of significant change and we all have responsibilities to keep our selves and children safe. We cannot take this lightly and so you will need to sign a declaration that you fully understand your responsibilities.

Specific Safeguarding training required

All staff undertake a huge range of safeguarding training whilst employed with NCN. Children and staff have been absent from work for a long period and as such change may have taken place during this period, or situations may have occurred. To ensure our knowledge is refreshed, we ask that you review the following documents and ensure your basic safeguarding training has been completed within the last 3 months. I would like to say a massive thank you for all the training that you have already undertaken during the past few months, and I hope this small list is not onerous.
