Visitor Policy

The Man In The Moon is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for the children in our care.

​

When we have visitors, we need to ensure that this will not have a detrimental effect on the children and that the person in question has a valid reason for visiting. Accordingly, when a visitor arrives, we will follow the procedure set out below:

​

• All visitors must sign the Visitor Log.

• The identity of the visitor will be checked and this will be recorded in the Visitor Log.

• If crew members require further reassurance of the identity of the visitor, they will phone the employing organisation of the visitor, e.g. Ofsted, Local Authority, Environmental Health Department, etc, for further confirmation.

• The reason for the visit will be recorded.

• Visitors will never be left alone or unsupervised with the children.

• If a visitor has no reason to be on the premises, crew members will escort them from the premises.

• If the visitor refuses to leave, crew members will call the police. In such an event an Incident Log will be completed.

• When a visitor leaves the premises, we will record the time of departure on the Visitor Log.
