Guidance for the safe working
practice for adults who work with children and young
people
All adults
who come into contact with children and young people in their work
have a duty of care to safeguard and promote their welfare. The
Stay Safe outcome of the Every Child Matter Change for Children
programme, places a duty on organisations to safeguard and promote
the welfare of children and young people. This includes the need
for organisations to ensure that all adults who work with or on
behalf of children and young people are competent, confident and
safe to do so. This document provides practical guidance for anyone
who works with or for children and young people regardless of their
role, responsibility or status. Its purpose is to ensure that the
duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children is achieved
by raising awareness of illegal, unsafe and inappropriate
behaviours.......
