VISITORS PRE-APPROVAL PROCEDURE TO DR. GRAHAM’S HOMES

• Visitors are always welcome and the Homes extends a warm and enjoyable visit to everyone.

• However, whatever the purpose of the visit, the Homes has a legal duty of care for the health, safety, security and well-being of all students and staff. This duty of care incorporates the duty of ‘safe-guarding’ all students from being subjected to any form of harm, abuse or nuisance. To comply with the requirements of the Dr. Grahams Homes ‘Child Protection & Safe-Guarding Guidelines 2021”, the DGH Board of Management (BOM) has introduced a security protocol for ALL visitors wishing to enter the premises. To be clear – a “visitor” is a supplier/contractor, parent/guardian; guest; tourist; OGBs and/or ex-staff, etc.

GUIDE FOR VISITORS

1. All visitors MUST obtain approval prior to entering any of the premises on the school campus.
2. Approval is authorised by members of the School Executive (i.e. the Principal/Headmaster/Bursar)

b) The Badge is to be returned to the Main Administration Office, prior to departing (deposit
