If you are concerned about the way in which an adult working with children has behaved towards a child, you or your manager must inform the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO).
If an allegation is made against an adult who works with children, or there are concerns regarding an adult’s behaviour, which suggests they may not be suitable to be employed in the children’s workforce, then the employer should contact the Local Authority Designated Officer
The Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) works within Children’s Services and the police where appropriate and gives advice and guidance to employers, organisations and other individuals who have concerns about the behaviour of an adult who works with children and young people. Included in this group are volunteers, agency staff and foster carers as well as people who are in a position of authority or trust and have regular contact with children, such as religious leaders, political figures or school governors. An adult does not have to be in regulated activity to be included in these procedures.
The LADO does not conduct Investigations but rather:-
Employers can contact the LADO for an initial consultation
