3.3 1.2 Safeguarding

[Optimus Prime]

My assessor is happy with the bones of my answer but has asked me to add on talking about 'the NSPCC in the wider context' but I'm not sure what she means. Any hints please?

Hi, wider context meaning overall, if you've focussed specifically on child protection and how they're an organisation to contact where abuse is alleged or suspected maybe look at it from the inside of the NSPCC looking out - about, history, what we do NSPCC will help research.

Aspects could include how the NSPCC aims to ..

• Work to end cruelty to children
• Offer consultancy services and undertake research projects
• Make resources available, for free and to purchase
• Use campaigns to drive public awareness and influence political agendas - media centre
• Train fundraisers to secure financial revenues
• Work in partnership with service providers - NHS, police, local authority departments: social services, immigration, children and families .. maybe check how they're local to you.
• Provide tools that enable reporting, proactively reducing the risk of abuse occuring and reactively from it continuing - phoneline, councellors what happens when a call is made to the nspcc
• Maintain compliance with law eg. the data protection act - obtaining personal information

Hth, best wishes xx
