Safeguarding

Safeguarding

Definition of Safeguarding

‘Keeping children safe in education’, DfES, 2016, defines safeguarding and promoting the
welfare of children as:
‘Protecting children from maltreatment; preventing impairment of children’s health
or development; ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with
the provision of safe and effective care; and taking action to enable all children to
have the best outcomes’.

Safeguarding is not just about protecting children from deliberate harm. It relates to aspects of school life including:

  • Pupils’ health and safety
  • The use of reasonable force
  • Meeting the needs of pupils with medical conditions
  • Providing first aid
  • Educational visits
  • Intimate care
  • Internet or e-safety
  • Appropriate arrangements to ensure school security, taking into account the local context

Safeguarding can involve a range of potential issues such as:

  • Bullying, including cyberbullying (by text message, on social networking sites, and so on) and prejudice-based bullying
  • Racist, disability, and homophobic or transphobic abuse
  • Radicalisation and extremist behaviour
  • Child sexual exploitation
  • Sexting
  • Substance misuse
  • Issues that may be specific to a local area or population, for example gang activity and youth violence
  • Particular issues affecting children including domestic violence, sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation and forced marriage
