Safeguarding is the action taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm. This means protecting children from abuse and maltreatment, preventing harm to children’s health or development, ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

Child Protection is just one part of this process and focusses on protecting individual children identified as suffering or likely to suffer significant harm.

Safeguarding is all of our responsibilities.
