Working Together to Safeguard Children

We have a duty to safeguard all our pupils and families. There may be times that additional support is required in order to ensure and maintain the safety of our children and families. This DFE guide explains how we work with other agencies such as social workers, police and health workers in order to provide the right support at the right time.

No matter where you live, there will always be people you can reach out to for help.
Examples of these people include teachers, social workers, police and health workers. Your parents and carers are also there to keep you safe, help you do the things you enjoy and help you do well at all the things you choose to do.

Sometimes people will need to make decisions quickly to make sure you are safe, and this guide explains how they do that, including explaining to you what is happening and why. This version of the guide is made especially for children and young people.
