​

• Protecting children from maltreatment

• Preventing impairment of children’s health or development

• Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care

• Taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcome

 

Safeguarding primarily includes child protection, health care plans, health and safety, site security, safety on school trips, anti-bullying work however there are numerous other elements which can also fall under the safeguarding umbrella.
