Lanyards

It has been great to see so many of our children notice that we have changed our lanyards. Our lanyards now say ‘staff’ rather than ‘Begbrook’ on the ribbon. We explained to children this week that we had to change them because the ID cards that we wear on our lanyards now open the front door and if our lanyards got lost, a person would know the name of our Academy (because of the name on the ribbon) and have access with the ID card.

Below is our lanyard information:

We have blue lanyards for adults who we know are safe because they have had all of the safeguarding checks. Blue lanyards could be for staff or safe visitors.

We have red lanyards are for adults who have not had the safeguarding checks. This means that they need to be supervised by a member of staff or visitor wearing a blue lanyard. If you see a person wearing a lanyard and they are not with an adult wearing a blue lanyard (or if a person is not wearing any lanyard at all) then you must tell a member of staff as soon as possible.

Rainbow lanyards are for adults who work in our family of Academies called the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF). All CLF adults have had safeguarding checks and are therefore safe adults.
