Introduction

Safeguarding and Protecting Children is Everyone’s Responsibility and has a duty of care to ensure they safeguard and protect children at risk of harm and neglect and promote their welfare. All those who come in contact with children and their families as part of their day to day work, and those who do not, have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

All staff have a duty to familiarise themselves with the risk factors signs and symptoms of child abuse and be aware of the action to be taken should such an incident present itself.

The aim of this course is to ensure that children and young people can ‘stay safe’ by minimising the risk and incidence of child abuse, thus enabling them to achieve. All children have the right to be safeguarded from harm and exploitation. One agency alone cannot protect children and neither can procedures alone, promoting children’s wellbeing and safeguarding them from significant harm depends on effective information sharing collaboration and understanding between agencies and professionals.
