What is Safeguarding?


Working in small groups, discuss what do
 you think ‘Safeguarding’ might mean?

                    Have you come across
                    this term before?
                    If not, what do you think
                    it might mean?
    Safeguarding is…


     Anything which causes you or us to be
     concerned that you or others might be
     at risk of significant harm…

     But not everything will be referred on –
     only what needs to be.
