|
| Keeping children safe – a young person’s guide to the Safeguarding children review has been written especially for children. (The estimated reading age is 11 years old.) |
This guide could be used by many different professionals working with children.
- Teachers may consider the guide as a useful learning material for PSHE lessons or as an aid to a study project.
- Social workers, advocates, youth workers, health workers and criminal justice specialists working with certain groups of vulnerable children (for example, those who are looked after, at risk, asylum seekers, or bullied) may use this guide to help children have a better understanding of the systems which have been put in place to help and protect them.
- Children’s organisations could use the guide as a general means of informing children on issues to do with their safety and protection.
- Inspectors might use parts of the guide to prompt discussion with children when they are checking on aspects of their safety and well-being.
The guide has been written to recognise that children and young people have both a right and an interest in knowing what is being done to keep them safe:
'I think that this guide will have information about everything that is being done to keep children safe.' [Young person]
