Working together to safeguard children states that every local authority must have a designated officer who deals with allegations against staff and volunteers who work with children.
Allegations against the children's workforce in Camden are overseen by the LADO.
Camden operates a rota system for LADO referrals which will be dealt with by a Child Protection IRO.
However the IRO with oversight of Camden's LADO system is:
Jacqui Fearon: ext: 4330
Any referrals should be in writing using the CSCP LADO agency referral formand sent to the LADO mailbox: [email protected]
Where the incident or allegation involves a crime against a child social workers should contact the CAIT by email:
The LADO information leaflet for agencies explains the role of the LADO role and agencies' duty to refer incidents and allegations to the LADO.
Staff members who are referred to the LADO can refer to the Allegations and LADO information leaflet for further information on what happens next and what support they will receive.
