This module covers the main principles to consider when safeguarding children: a co-ordinated approach, early help and a child-centred approach. It explores these principles in depth, and how they relate to real-life safeguarding. The importance of information sharing is also considered. The module provides an excellent overview of the key themes of child safeguarding.
Knowing when to report suspected abuse can be difficult to judge. What should you do to establish the facts, and how should you respond when you suspect a child that you have contact with is suffering from abuse? This module covers the question of when is the time to alert authorities and the processes they go through to protect the child or children in question.
Unfortunately, sometimes things go wrong with child safeguarding – including processes not being followed or inaccurate information sharing. In some cases, this can lead to prolonged abuse. This module explores learning from the times the system hasn’t worked and how it can be prevented from happening again. The role of Safeguarding Children Partnership Boards is explained.

Included Features
Everybody has the basic human right to live a life without abuse. Unfortunately, this right is not always respected. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect vulnerable children and adults from abuse, neglect and harm.
Training in safeguarding protects both the children at risk and the employee who notices the signs, as they will be equipped to know what to do in those circumstances. It is important for people in many different job roles to recognise the signs of possible abuse and what to do about them.
It is important to safeguard a child to make sure they are protected from mistreatment, abuse and neglect. When safeguarding is done correctly, all affected parties work together to provide a solution to the concern in a way that benefits the child. Raising the alarm when there is a concern is vital.
There are many safeguarding issues in schools, ranging from preventing bullying, radicalisation and abuse to watching out for signs of physical and mental abuse in the home environment. Schools need to ensure they are a safe space for children where their needs are being put first always.
Everybody who works with children is responsible for safeguarding them. It is also the duty of everyone who comes into contact with children to do as much as possible to ensure their safety. Safeguarding training helps people to recognise possible signs of distress or abuse in vulnerable children and to know how to report their concerns.
