SafeguardingINSET [INSERT DATE] Emma Drag
Aims of session: • To understand the meaning of Safeguarding. • To know the definition of abuse and the signs. • To understand ‘Child protection’. • To know the up-to-date procedure of reporting.
What is ‘Safeguarding’? Discuss…
The ‘Safeguarding Triangle’ Learner voice
Every Child Matters (ECM) • Be healthy • Make a positive contribution. • Enjoy and achieve. • Stay safe. • Achieve economic wellbeing.
Safeguarding… • (Guidance under Children’s Acts 1989 and 2004) • Protecting children from maltreatment. • Preventing impairment of children’s health or development. • Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care. • Undertaking that role so as to enable those children to have optimum life chances.
Child Protection • A child is anyone not yet reached their 18th birthday. • Providing a safe environment for children to learn. • Identify children who are suffering or likely to suffer harm – take appropriate action to make sure they are kept safe both at home and in school.
What is abuse? • Areas of abuse: • Physical, • Emotional, • Neglect, and • Sexual. In groups, think of 5 signs or indicators of each.
Indicators of abuse • Recognise the signs/indicators: abuse may have occurred or maybe likely to occur or individual is at risk. • Ensure this knowledge informs a decision on the action to take. • Cluster of signs are more important as individual signs are difficult to judge. • Recognise patterns of reoccurring incidents. • Signs and symptoms may relate to more than one category. • List of signs are endless. There maybe signs which are not on the list!
Reporting (Disclosure) When a member of staff raises a concern or a pupil approaches a member of staff: • Stay calm and reassuring; • Listen; • Confirm in a positive manner; • Avoid asking leading questions; • Reflect on what the person has said rather than asking questions; • Avoid interruption; • Reassure pupil and avoid blame. • Inform pupil you have a professional responsibility to share.
Reporting (Disclosure) INSERT here staff contact name and school procedure for handling a disclosure. INSERT CPLO name and at what point this person is contacted. Action: To have a central ‘Keep an eye on book’ for all staff to be up dated with incidents people need to be aware of – such as emotions of a pupil which may impact learning or attitude on the playground.
