"We must be willing to face the hard reality that preventing child abuse and neglect is possible only when we are ready to attack its sources in the fabric of our society and culture; rather than merely provide social and medical services to its…

1. Introduction The governors and staff fully recognise the contribution the school makes, in partnership with other local agencies, to safeguarding children. We recognise that all staff, including volunteers, have a full and active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm and that everyone in the education service has an objective to keep children and young people safe. All staff and governors believe that our school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment which promotes the social, physical and moral development of the individual child. Through its emphasis on prevention and early intervention, this policy aims to minimise the risks of children being abused.…
All children should live free from abuse and neglect and to be, and to feel, safe. Every aspect of a childâ€TMs life should be a safe, nurturing environment, at home and at school. The school environment should be one that is inclusive, creative, respectful and safe in order for children to reach their full potential. Abuse, neglect or any safeguarding issues…
When a child bumps their head, the child is immidiately assessed by an adult in the setting to see how severe the injury is. If the child is concious they are taken to the medical room where a First Aider will apply a cold compress to the bump. At the time the child will not be left alone and the parents or guardians are informed of the accident. If any serious than this, the parent will be informed to take the child to the family doctor, to be further checked out.…
Children and young people need to be empowered to keep themselves safe. Children will always push boundaries and take a risk that is how we all learn. Our role is to manage them risks without taking away children’s independence. We should think about how we could help a child to learn a new skill such as crossing the road. We should hold their hand and explain to them how we cross the road we explain to them first we hold hands and look left and right and use our ears to listen to the traffic and use our eyes to check if there are cars coming and when you can’t see any vehicle coming or can’t hear any traffic then it is safe to cross the road but we should always hold hands and walk on the road and not run. We should make them do it by themselves…
All practitioners have a duty to ensure the safety of children in their care. Children (in most cases) are unable to tell anyone if they are being abused, either out of fear, shame or because they are too young. Some children may even not realise that what is happening to them is wrong or any different to what happens to everyone else. Three quarters of sexually abused children under the age of 16 do not tell anybody what was happening to them at the time and a third still had not told anyone by the time they reached adulthood. It is up to adults to recognise and report any suspected cases of abuse or neglect as early as possible.…
The safety and welfare of the children is very important in every setting as indicated in section 3 of the statutory framework for the early year’s foundation stage 2014. All providers must meet the necessary requirements to make sure the children are kept safe and well. In my setting we have three rooms which are the baby room, toddler room and pre-school. As I work in the toddler room I care for children age ranging between 16 months to 27months old. The children to staff ratio is very important as this ensures that the children’s needs and safety is met. If the children are under two years old then we have a staff ratio of 1 adult to 3 children and if the children are over 2 years old then we have a staff ratio of 1 adult to 4 children. The toddler room can hold up to 27 children with 9 members of staff ranging from a room leader, senior nursery nurse, level 2 and 3 qualified and some staff who are unqualified but working towards their qualification. All staff members are CRB checked to make sure that the children are safe hands.…
Families rely on the court justice system to provide security and protection from any criminals or offenders that may terrorize or threaten them. Without the help of the system, the protection and security of their children are in danger of being exposed to violence and abuse. With that being said, the family justice system’s current involvement in child abuse cases is ineffective when ensuring the safety and well-being of a child. It is crucial, as a society, to take further action to prevent anymore harm.…
Every school created policies that prioritise the safety & security of their students. They indicate the responsibilities of staff and the procedures that they must follow. It covers about the issue of safeguarding, procedures for reporting, e-safety, bullying, including cyber-bullying as well.…
Abusive parents who are allowed to see their children will continue to abuse them. Parents target defenseless children. Children do not have a voice against their abusive parents. We must stop the cycle of child abuse. “There is considerable evidence to support the notion that violence breeds violence.” (Grapes 78) “A large majority of abusing parents were abused as children.” (Grapes 79). Children who speak out against abuse in their home should always be taken seriously and abuse investigations must be thorough. We can stop child abuse if we put abusive parents in jail, removing them from abuse opportunities…
Overwhelming many children suffer at the hands of child abuse every day. It appears to most people that child abuse is negative, something that no one should commit, or that it’s common sense not to harm a child. Yet it continues to be a problem around the world and it is largely believed that the chances of eliminating child abuse incidents completely is slim to none, however, that topic will be discussed later.…
