Allegations against people in positions of trust
Local Authorities should have a Designated Officer (previously known as LADO) or a Team of Officers to be involved in the management and oversight of allegations against people who work with children. In Slough, the Designated Officer is employed by Slough Children's Trust
The Designated Officer or Team of Officers provide advice and guidance to employers and voluntary organisations, liaising with Police and other agencies to monitor the progress of cases to ensure they are dealt with as quickly as possible, using a consistent, thorough and fair process.
Organisations and individuals working with children should have in place clear policies for dealing with allegations against people who work with children.
