Safeguarding Children

Safeguarding children refers to the actions and policies aimed at protecting children from abuse, neglect, and harm. This involves ensuring their well-being, promoting their rights, and providing a safe environment where they can grow and thrive. It encompasses various measures, including identifying signs of distress, supporting families, and creating protective systems within communities, schools, and organizations. Professionals, such as teachers and social workers, play a crucial role in safeguarding, working together with families and authorities to respond appropriately to any concerns about a child's safety or welfare.
