This document has been provided for parents of children who are engaged in activities on campus. A child is defined as a person under the age of 18. The University recognises that children come onto to campus for a variety of reasons, e.g. to use facilities, to participate in research and to take part in events and activities organised by the University. The University is committed to ensuring that children are treated appropriately and has a Child Protection Policy.

All staff and students must comply with the Child Protection Policy and where appropriate, disclosure checks will be carried out to ensure that members of the University working with children do not have criminal convictions that would preclude them from working with children. Further information on the University’s disclosure procedures are available.

Training has been provided to staff and students who are required to have contact with children as part of their duties. Training will continue to be provided as necessary.

If parents/carers have any concerns about the treatment of a child whilst on campus, they should speak with the member of staff in charge. If they remain concerned, they may contact one of the University’s Child Protection Officers, Anne Lamb, (01509) 222168, email A.E.P.Lamb@lboro.ac.uk; or Sandra Jasper, (01509) 228028, email: S.E.Jasper@lboro.ac.uk
