Teacher essay summary


There was some good work here: shows awareness of safeguarding procedures in educational organisations such as schools and colleges, and the need for staff to receive training in CP matters. Professionals who may work with children were correctly identified, although at times there is confusion about the roles they play in the safeguarding process. Some more reading around the roles of various professionals in such issues is required. Also, there is mention of departments or Acts that do not exist (CSF, and some laws for instance), which also indicates the need for further reading of up to date material. There were some spelling and grammar errors - do proof-read carefully.
