Safeguarding children essay ideas?

[saro87]

Hi all I am hoping that somebody will be able to help me or point me in the right direction I just dont realy know where to start!!!my essay title is

Critically examine the historical perspectives and legislative changes that have affected the safeguarding of children and young people.

and my learning out comes are:

• Discuss core legislation relating to the welfare and safeguarding of children and young people, families, parents and carers.
• Evaluate the contribution and intervention strategies of different professionals and interagency work in the support and safeguarding of children, young people, families and parents/carers.

I can understand I need to go through the legislation perhaps in a timeline fashion but the 2nd LO has left me puzzled, and im not sure where to critically analyse legislation it doesnt make sense to me at all!!
Also my tutor keeps saying safeguarding is not just child protection dont focus on this!!I was hoping somebody could give some ideas so that I can understand the question a bit better??

thank you
