Safeguarding children must be at the forefront of everything you do and you must always prioritise the welfare of all children in your care. Every child, regardless of their age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation, has a right to equal protection from harm.
Always remember what Safeguarding means:
- Protecting children from abuse and maltreatment.
- Preventing harm to children’s health and development.
- Ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care.
- Taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes.
Always follow each individual school’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and the Step Teacher’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy as all times.
