help with CYP 3.3 please struggling for months!
 

hi could anyone give me any info or direction for the question :

An explanation of child protection in the wider concept of safeguarding children and young people?'

been tearing my hair out at this one and just kept ignoring it and doing other assignments but can't afford the assignment for much longer!

thanks

I've not tackled this one either, yet. But my tutor has suggested using the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to help explain.

child protection is specifically about abuse but it comes under an umbrella term called safeguarding. safeguarding are ALL the things we do all the policies and procedures we have that keep children safe. so what is child protection and what is safeguarding how do they fit together. its nothing to do with CRC

Child protection is part of the wider work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people. It refers to the activity that is undertaken to protect specific children who are suffering from any form of abuse or neglect. It also involves protecting children and young people from maltreatment and preventing impairment of a child’s health and development by ensuring children are raised in positive circumstances by providing safe and caring environments. Parents or carers who fail to protect or care for their children could then be taken to court and the child be then removed from the home and placed into care.
Wider forms of safeguarding also include; risk assessments such as providing a safe environment inside and outside a school setting. Adhering to school policies, procedures and legislation i.e. health and safety, fire drills and missing children.
Keeping up to date with training in safeguarding issues. Encouraging learning and development of children and young people.
Assessing observations to identify additional support needs a child or young person will need (CAF).

I've been marked correct in this one, so hope it helps.

This is the beginnig of my answer and I've research in the LSCB Local Safeguarding Children Board site for their framework basic requirements, it is in the school safeguarding policy is well. I wrote about the Child Matters framework and the children Act 2004 and legal requirements, pointing out the agencies involved to safeguarding children and how they contribute with the recommendations.

"The term Child Protection has been replaced by Safeguarding children with the broader idea instead of protect the child from harm to prevent it to happen.
The Government has defined the term ‘safeguarding children’ as:
“The process of protecting children from abuse or neglect, preventing impairment of their health and development, and ensuring they are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care that enables children to have optimum life chances and enter adulthood successfully.”
