Safeguarding

We all have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children.

Here at ENL UTC we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We recognise that keeping children and young people safe is paramount.

Anyone who witnesses abuse, receives a disclosure of abuse, or suspects abuse may have occurred, must report it as soon as possible to our Safeguarding Team.

What is Safeguarding and Child Protection?

Safeguarding is the action you take to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm. Safeguarding means:

• protecting children from abuse and maltreatment
• preventing harm to children’s health and development
• providing support to meet children’s needs when problems emerge
• ensuring children grow up with safe and effective care, within their family where possible
• taking action to make sure that all babies, children and young people have the best outcomes.

Child protection is part of the safeguarding process. It focuses on protecting individual children identified as suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm. This includes child protection procedures detailing how to respond to concerns about a child.
