External referrals

Prepare the referral. Record that you made it.

Child Protect helps your safeguarding team prepare a clear, minimal-disclosure referral pack for outside agencies and keeps a permanent record of every referral. Your school makes the report to the agency.

Quick answer

Does Child Protect report to the police or government for us?

No. Child Protect does not send reports to any agency. It prepares a referral pack as a PDF letter and summary for police, MSDHS 1300, social services, the Ministry of Education or an embassy. Your staff send or hand it over, then record the referral in a permanent log. The school or organisation remains responsible for contacting the agency.
