Safeguarding is about everything an organisation can do to keep children and young people safe e.g.
- minimising the risk of harm and accidents,
- having safe recruitment procedures,
- having a code of conduct for staff and volunteers
- having the right polices and procedures in place to deal with issues if they occur
Safeguarding is also about Child Protection - protecting children from suspected abuse and neglect - click here for more information on Child Protection
