Self Harm Policy

This Self-Harm Policy is designed to support children who may be at risk by prioritizing safety, early intervention, and compassionate care. The policy provides clear guidance for identifying warning signs, responding promptly to concerns, and taking appropriate action to reduce risk. Staff are expected to act calmly, sensitively, and without judgment, ensuring that the child feels listened to and supported. All concerns must be reported and recorded in line with safeguarding procedures, with timely involvement of senior staff and external agencies where required. The policy promotes a caring environment that encourages open communication, emotional wellbeing, and ongoing support for every child.
