Hi, this is a quote from page 92 of the EYE level 3 handbook

'Duty of care
All adults. whether paid or unpaid, who work with or on behalf of children have a duty of care in that they are accountable for the way they exercise their authority, manage risk, use resources and otherwise act to safeguard children. In carrying out their work, the child's welfare must be paramount.'

The page goes on to explain how it is a practitioner's responsibility to keep children safe, protect them from sexual, physical and emotional harm and neglect. Treat children with dignity and respect. Take reasonable steps to ensure safety and well-being - failure to do this may be regarded as neglect. Ensure that confidential information about children is only share when it is the child's interest to do so.

Hope this helps a little
