Safeguarding Children and Young People

Safeguarding children and young people refers to the responsibility of protecting them from harm, abuse, or neglect. This involves ensuring their health, development, and wellbeing are prioritized, within families, schools, and communities. Safeguarding practices require cooperation among various organizations, such as schools, social services, and law enforcement, to create a safe environment. It also involves promoting children's rights and empowering them to speak up about their experiences. Ultimately, safeguarding aims to create protective measures and responsive systems to enhance the safety and quality of life for all children and young people.
