Safeguarding Children FAQs
What constitutes a breach of duty of care?
A breach of duty of care is when a carer or other responsible person fails in the care that they should be giving. A person may be liable for negligence in a personal injury case if their breach of duty caused another person's injuries or mental ill health.
Typical areas of concern are fire safety, health and safety, food safety, personal safety, child and adult protection (plus wider safeguarding such as safer recruitment), equality, bullying, violence, harassment, stress, or discrimination from any source.
What is a safeguarding policy?
A policy put in place to ensure vulnerable people are not abused in any way. It makes it clear what an organisation or group will do to keep children and adults safe.
It should include a statement setting out the organisation's commitment to protecting all children and adults in its care.
What is early intervention?
Doing things as early as possible to support a child’s developmental, health and support needs. Early intervention services give specialised support to children and their families in the early years (birth to school entry).
Early intervention promotes welfare, safety, development and societal stability. It also plays a part in preventing problems developing later and goes a long way in attempting to rectify those which have already begun to manifest.
What is the Children Act 2004?
The Children Act 2004 introduced the Common Assessment Framework, which came into operation in 2006, and is an example of a standardised approach to improve the way in which services work together to provide early help to families.
Section 11 of the Children Act 2004 places responsibility on safeguarding partners to make arrangements together to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children in their local area.
