Child safeguarding refers to the measures, practices, policies, and activities aimed at protecting children from harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. It encompasses a broad range of actions designed to ensure children’s safety, wellbeing, and rights are upheld in various settings, such as out of home care placements, educational settings, childcare centres and sporting clubs.
Child safeguarding not only involves protecting children from immediate harm but also working proactively to prevent risks and promote environments that support healthy development and positive outcomes for all children.
