There's no requirement for you to have an intimate care policy, but if you have pupils that require intimate care, including if you're a setting with a high proportion of children not yet toilet trained, you might find it useful.

It's designed for you to adapt to suit your school's context. We developed our model policy with Forbes Solicitors, the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), and our associate experts Sarah Gallagher and Audrey Pantelis.

You'll also find attached:

• An intimate care plan template
• A parent/carer consent form, if you're a setting with a high proportion of children not yet toilet trained
