| |
|Safeguarding can be described as a broader definition of the wide range of ways that adults and professionals who work with children need to act|
|when managing child protection issues. They are designed to prevent the risks of harm to the welfare of children and young people rather than |
|react to them. The term child protection is used for the policies and procedures followed in the event of a suspected harm or child abuse case. |
| |
| |
|All professionals working with children need to be CRB checked. Those in child care practise are required to ensure that they demonstrate the |
|correct safeguarding procedures and follow the policy that the workplace has in place when working with children and young people, and reporting|
|any concerns. |

Explain when and why inquiries and serious case reviews are required. 1.4
