Hi, this http://www.safenetwork.org.uk/traini...y-working.aspx and this page might help - http://vcf-uk.org/current-safeguardi...es-guidelines/


Victoria climbe died tragically at the hands of her Aunt in the year 2000
The response to her death prompted the biggest shake up review of safeguarding procedures in the UK
Lord Laming was asked to conduct a review into Victoria's case which resulted in 108 recommended changes being made to the then, safeguarding children regulation. Many of these recommendations were adopted into the Children Act 2004

The 2004 act put in place a Children's commisisioner in England - currently Dr Maggie Atkinson
and established Local Safeguarding Children Boards

The Birchard inquiry into the deaths of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells in 2004 caused the tigtening up of the criminal record checking procedures - now DBS process and safer recruitment guidance in an attempt to ensure only suitable people worked with children, young and vulnerable people.

In August 2007 the death of Baby Peter Connelly caused Lord Laming to return and conduct another review.
This review then introduced an additional 58 recommendations. One being to set targets for safeguarding. As a result a Safeguarding children unit was set up in 2009 but in 2010 was 'scrapped due to 'the freeing up of resources'

In 2012 the death of 4 year old Daniel Pelka sparks controversy as local failings with safeguarding procedures are once again highlighted.


Best wishes
