Safeguarding is about taking action to promote the welfare of children and young people and protect them from harm when they are at risk of abuse, neglect or exploitation.
- Providing help and support to meet the needs of children as soon as problems emerge
- Protecting children from maltreatment, whether that is within or outside the home, including online
- Preventing the impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development

Some examples of safeguarding concerns are:
