Ensuring children and young people’s safety and welfare in the work setting is an essential part of safeguarding.

As part of their legal and professional obligations, practitioners hold positions of trust and a duty of care to the children in their school, and therefore should always act in their best interests and ensure their safety – the welfare of the child is paramount (Children Act 1989).
