Safeguarding and child protection

Every child has a right to protection from harm. All organisations that work with or come into contact with children should have safeguarding policies and procedures in place to help them keep children safe.

Setting up and following good safeguarding policies and procedures means children are safe from adults and other children who might pose a risk.

We have a range of safeguarding guidance, resources and training to help everyone working or volunteering with children keep them safe.

In your sector:

• Schools and colleges
• Health
• Voluntary and community services
