A Safe Place for Children

The safety and security of your child while they are in the hospital is of the utmost importance to us.

We want to ensure that adequate procedures are in place to safeguard the personal safety of parents/carers, children and young people in our care. To keep your child safe we have CCTV and controlled access on our children’s wards, neonatal unit, outpatient clinics and in the Emergency Department. We can control entry and exit from all these areas. Access cards are given only to staff that have been thoroughly vetted and trained in safeguarding children.

When you arrive at the department please press the bell on the left of the door once. A voice over the intercom will then ask who you are and who you have come to see (the ward can be busy so you may have to wait for a response). When you leave the ward you need to ask the staff at the nurses’ station to let you out.
