Safeguarding
Research Task 3
Safeguarding the welfare of children and young people (2.0)
1) Children and young people have a right to be provided with physical and emotional needs to maintain the health, safety and their development in society. Without food, water or shelter, these needs are not met, and therefore the child/young person cannot develop. It is therefore, important that safeguarding is in place in order that every child./ young person is reaching their full potential in life. Children/young people deserve to be treated respectfully and appropriately. Any signs of abuse, whether it is physical, emotional, sexual or neglect must be recorded and acted on in the appropriate manner. Protecting these children/young people from harm will allow them to become more confident and develop socially and physically. Children with a disability are more likely to be abused, and the signs and symptoms must be recognised by those in contact with these vulnerable children/young people. It is very important that all professionals who work in settings dealing with children and young people have a key role in safeguarding and supporting their welfare.
Safeguarding children can be done through a variety of methods. It is not only about protecting a child from physical harm, therefore ensuring their physical safety in school and on visits away, but protecting children on the internet. There have been many cases of children suffering through Cyber Bullying on social network sites, and some of these children have taken their own life. Child grooming takes place on the internet, together with accidentally viewing adult websites. Measures must be taken to ensure safety on the internet and by making a child aware not to provide personal details in chat rooms. There are also security details that must be prevented. It is all too easy to purchase goods and services on the internet if safeguarding measures have not been enforced. Bank details can easily be obtained, and act of fraud is all
