All children and young people need to have trusted adults around them to make sure they are kept safe from harm and abuse.

How can this be done?

We should ensure that all children and young people:

• are well cared for
• are healthy
• are safe
• have the best chances in life

and that:

• all people working with children and young people are safe and suitable to do so
• all places where children and young people go are safe.

Safeguarding is also about…

• Giving support to children, young people and their families
• Getting other people to help if necessary
• Knowing what to do if you’re worried about a child or a young person
• Recognising if a child or a young person is at risk of harm or abuse
• Taking action to protect the child or young person

It is a part of safeguarding. It refers to the need to protect students U18 (children) from direct harmful or abusive behaviour.

In the UK there is a legal responsibility that adults who work with children have a duty to look after them properly, as children depend on adults for their safety and well-being.
