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"The term Child Protection has been replaced by Safeguarding children with the broader idea instead of protect the child from harm to prevent it to happen.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.”
