Schools and colleges play an important part in the wider safeguarding system for children.
This is because their staff can:
- identify concerns early
- provide help for children
- prevent concerns from escalating
Safeguarding guidance supports the work of schools and other settings to help them safeguard effectively and make sure children receive the right help at the right time.
