This publication addresses the central importance of having effective policies and procedures to safeguard children in early years provision. It explores how to identify child abuse and factors affecting children’s vulnerability, the rights and entitlements of children and the role of the early years practitioner in the child protection process.

Guidance is also provided on working with parents and managing allegations against staff. Online access is provided for the template forms.
