We call on the UK Government to require annual private psychological assessments for all childcare and education staff, and introduce an early risk-identification support system, to better protect children and strengthen safeguarding nationwide.
Introduce mandatory annual private psychological or psychiatric assessments for all childcare and education staff. Create a national early risk-identification and support system to detect emerging concerns. Review and strengthen all safeguarding procedures to better protect children across the UK.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
