Safeguarding Practice

I work in line with current safeguarding guidance and local authority procedures. I maintain clear communication with social workers, carers, and relevant professionals to ensure that children are consistently and appropriately supported.

Any concerns about a child’s safety or wellbeing are taken seriously and responded to in accordance with safeguarding procedures.

Confidentiality

Children are supported within a safe and respectful space where their thoughts and feelings are valued. However, where there are concerns about safety or wellbeing, information will be shared appropriately with relevant professionals in order to protect the child.
