When coming into a new work you will need a CRB check to make sure you have no criminal convictions. You will need to be aware of all the settings policies and procedures for safeguarding so you will know how to spot signs of abuse and how/who to report your concerns. When you are about to carry out an activity with children you need to do risk assessments to check the environment and children are safe. You constantly need to be checking that all areas are safe so that no children are at risk of being harmed.

Serious case reviews are required when a child dies and it is known or suspected that abuse or neglect is a factor in the death. Sometimes reviews may also be carried out where a child has been seriously harmed or suffered life-threatening injuries. When professionals are found to be negligent in their involvement or procedures, the review is able to highlight where the mistakes were made.
