Childcare Level 2
1.1. Identify the current legislation, guidelines, policies and procedures for safeguarding the welfare of children and young people including e-safety.
Many children or young people are dying as a result of abuse or neglect every year, and it could bestopped if all the agencies work together and react to the clear signs that a child is at risk. Abusing a child by neglect or bullying in early life is affecting the children development, and I could make different right from the start of my working life in my setting. The legislation for safeguarding and child protection, passed in Parliament it includes: The Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004. These Acts is to aim for simplifying to work together when child abuse is suspected and our duties to protect children and young people in our setting. Working together to safeguard children (1999) is guideline for me in England and Wales to help them work with children who are at risk of harm.
The Children Act 2004is introduced after death of Victoria Climbie’s result of abused in hands of her carers, led by Lord Laming, in to her death in 2003. The Laming Report led to the Green Paper Every Child Matters, Which in turn led to the ChildrenAct 2004 in England and other four countries in UK. The Act includes: * The introduction of local authority’s Children Directors with responsibility for education and children’s social service. * Councillors for children’s services with responsibility for local child welfare. * Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards (LSCB) with powers to make sure that social services, the NHS, education services, the police and other services work together to protect vulnerable children. * A common Assessment Framework to help agencies to identify needs of children. * Revised arrangements for different agencies to share information.
Working together to Safeguard Children 2006 is to safeguard and promote the welfare of children to work individual and agencies together.
