Safeguarding Children Aims

The abuse or neglect of any child or young person, either physically, emotionally or sexually, can have a major long-term effect on all aspects of their health, development and well-being.

The Government’s Working Together 2010 guidance sets out how organisations and individuals should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.

Everyone involved in the care and education of children has a duty to:

  • Prevent abuse and neglect
  • Identify those children at risk
  • Promote children’s welfare, health and development
  • Act to prevent them from harm

Safeguarding Children is every individual’s and every organisation’s responsibility.
