When to call the Police Guidance for schools & colleges
The National Police Chiefs' Council working alongside the Department for Education, Home Office and the PSHE Association have created guidance for schools and colleges as part of Child Centred Policing.
This advice is non-statutory and should be read alongside the Department for Education's (DfE) keeping children safe in education statutory guidance and non-statutory searching, Screening and Confiscation advice for schools.
This advice is for school and college staff with responsibility for behaviour management, including designated safeguarding leads (DSLs), their deputies, head teachers and senior leadership teams in schools and colleges in England.
