Making decisions about safety is wide ranging, safeguarding in general covers a huge amount of eventualities and possibilities, within that generality child protection operates .. eg. from choosing to cross a road when busy or quiet, where to cross and how, jumping from the last balancing stone with or without assistance/support, using hammers with care to children having ways that enable them to remove themselves from abusive or harmful situations.
Saying stop, saying I'd rather not, tell someone, safety awareness - eg. sun & dental care
The importance is that children have a right to thier life, to be safe, protected from harm, to express themselves, be part of their country through nationality and have access to information that ensures their well-being
