safeguarding children
The procedures of the pre-school for responding to abuse. Young children are vunreable to forms of abuse and mostly from people they trust. It is hard to comprehend that anyone can abuse children but it does happen. The setting has CRB checks on all staff before starting work in the setting, correct staffing levels and volunteers and students not left alone with children. The governments green paper Every Child Matters required every local authority to from local safeguarding children boards. They work to safeguard and promote children's welfare and develop polices and procedures for child protection. The setting has a child protection policy to outline how children are to be safeguarded from forms of abuse, procedures to be followed in the event of an allegation of neglect or abuse. If we suspect any form of abuse. We deal with it promptly and efficiently to safeguard the child. Staff in the setting have to take children to the toilet and often change nappies. We encourage children to remove clothing, wipe their bottoms and close toilet doors if they need privacy. We must be aware of a problem if a practitioner is always volunteering for toilet duty. Staff have the opportunities to abuse children in one to one situations. Doors to rooms must not be closed and cuddles only given at the child's request. We should be aware of a child's reaction to a practitioner and

Her family noticed bruises on body after a visit and set up a camera in her room, this caught on camera that Bello had been abusing Bridie. She was sentenced to four months in jail for an account of neglect. The relationship between this carer and her service user is an unsupportive one. Rights, respect and needs were all deliberately discounted by the professional. The service user's rights were not respected as under the human rights act she was abused and verbally degraded by the person who was to care for her. She also wasn't respected in the sense that her family pay money for her to be cared for and treated properly. The service users' needs were also not met as she needs to be happy, respected and safe in her home, however this was violated. This does not make a supportive relationship at all, as
Inter-professional Practice and Safeguarding Children
20042188 CYCC52 Inter-professional Practice and Safeguarding Children CYCC52 Inter-professional Practice and Safeguarding Children Different professional groups may each have their own priorities when it comes to safeguarding children. Giving examples of these, discuss whether it is possible for professionals to work together with the interests of the child to the fore. Essay: 60% of module mark, 2500 words, learning outcomes 1 & 3. First and foremost during this essay I will examine what inter-professional practice is and where it has come from. Furthermore I will analyse the different ways in which the agencies that I work alongside work together to help safeguard children and young people. I will discuss the priorities that they may have using examples which I have been involved in within my setting. I will then discuss whether it is possible to work solely child centred when it comes to safeguarding and analyse the difficulties we may come across while attempting this, mainly focussing on budget restraints and how they affect the young people we provide a service for. I will briefly divulge into the tragedies of both Victoria Climbie and ‘Baby P’ discussing why inter-professional practice was not successful. And finally I will discuss ways in which I believe inter professional practice could be improved across the board by introducing reviewing
Safeguarding Children - Dangers of Abuse and Legislation
Safeguarding Children Children Act 1989 The Children Act 1989 states that it's the responsibility of parents and professionals who work with children to ensure the safety of the child. This Act includes two important sections that focus specifically on child protection, the first is that local authorities have a responsibility to investigate any situation where they suspect that a child is suffering, or likely to suffer any significant harm. The second states that services must be put into place to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within the area who are in need. The Children Act 1989 ensures that the safety of the children is always at a high level and maintains the child’s welfare. The main concern when coaching children is remembering the physical and mental welfare as well as the safety, health and the future of any child. You should only physically contact the children in the following situations: Demonstrating a technique or treating an injury. You may gather some personal information about a child, any information that you find doesn’t need to be shared and for safety reasons it should be kept confidential. The Education Act 2002 This sets out the responsibilities of Local Education Authorities (LEAs), governing bodies, head teachers and everyone who works in schools to ensure that children are safe and free from harm. This ensures that all
Effective Practice in safeguarding Children within a Multidisciplinary Approach.
ASSESSMENT B THE ESSAY In this essay I will be discussing my chosen topic which is Effective Practice in safeguarding Children within a Multidisciplinary Approach. I will talk about the history, policies and legislations in safeguarding children. I will go on to demonstrate how child abuse and neglect have an impact on children's learning and development. The work of theories in connection to child abuse will be mentioned. I will also demonstrate how to plan appropriately within the context of an early year's curriculum and how to respond to child protection concerns. I shall go on to talk about the practitioners role in identifying and assessing children's welfare, and protection needs as well as the decision making within a multidisciplinary network. I will then talk about partnership with parents and carers in promoting children's welfare. I will conclude by demonstrating my knowledge about the role of practitioners in the decision making process in safeguarding the welfare of children. "Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children- and in particular protecting them from significant harm depends on effective joint working between agencies and expertise" Working Together to Safeguard Children (2006p33). Multidisciplinary agencies are professionals and practitioners in the field of health, welfare and education. They all have different roles to play in

Multi-Agency working and safeguarding adults in care.
MULTI-AGENCY WORKING UNIT ELEVEN SAFEGUARDING ADULTS DISTINCTION TWO There have been various cases recently in the news to where abuse has been either suspected of confirmed, for example the Panorama undercover programme at Winterbourne view whereby a range of physical, emotional, psychological abuse were identified. Abuse is defined as 'A violation of an individual's human and civil rights by any other person or persons'. Vulnerable people are more open to abuse due to the individuals either not being able to stand up for themselves and are usually unwell, frail or/and confused. Different types of services try to combat this abuse through taking a multi-agency approach whereby the organisations all work together to discover ways of preventing the abuse from taking place in the beginning or resurrect the situation when abuse has been confirmed by providing a range of support through support planning and single assessment. Rather than the organisations working separately and providing separate services without any communication, multi-agency working encourages the services to work together through sharing information and a co-ordination of approach whereby the individual's needs are central to the process and that a person centred care approach is used. With multi-agency working there will be an array of professionals from different agencies where they will combine each of

Safeguarding: The Impact on Childrens Learning and Development Through the Perception of the Practitioner.
Safeguarding: The Impact on Children's Learning and Development Through the Perception of the Practitioner. Safeguarding unit: PDP636 By Peter Blaskey The aim of this assignment is to explore and discuss how Early Years Practitioners perceive the safeguarding of children and what influences the way it is perceived and implemented. It is also the aim to discuss how the internal conceptualisation, and external pressures, of factors such as policy, the language used in relation to safeguarding and OFSTED, impact on professional practice and how that impacts on children's learning and development. It will consider, what appears to be an increasing belief that we, as a society, should remove all risk to children creating an insular world of safety. Drawing on reading and other people's research, it will also look at the opposing view of some Early Years professionals and the arguments they put forward in the consideration of risk taking. I work as an Early Years Advisory Teacher supporting a number of Early Years settings in the improvement of quality provision for children's learning and development. This is across a Phase one Children's Centre Reach Area consisting of some maintained Nurseries but is mostly focussed on Private and Voluntary Independent Nurseries. My role is in keeping with the statutory document, Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS, DCSF 2008). The
