Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable People
Safeguarding is about keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from abuse or neglect.
The government's aim is for every child to have the support they need to be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well-being. All organisations involved with providing services to children - from hospitals and schools to police and voluntary groups - have a responsibility to work together to protect children and young people from harm and abuse.
This section provides information, guidance and legislation for professionals working in the safeguarding area. It also provides information on what the government are doing to prevent online child exploitation.
