|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. |
