Emergency Broadcast: Incident in Southgate area

Please be aware that there have been some recent incidents of indecent exposure by an adult male in the Southgate area. This includes an incident near a local early years setting. We recommend that you remain vigilant, and that you take any additional precautions as necessary for safeguarding children and staff (especially for children arriving and leaving the premises). Please call 999 if you are reporting a crime that is in progress or if someone is in immediate danger. To report non-emergencies or provide information, you can report crimes online, or call 101.

Should an incident occur, ensure you inform Ofsted, notifying them of what happened, how you dealt with it, and inform parents of children who may have witnessed too.
