Safeguarding Guide

What is this guide about?

Working Together to Safeguard Children (usually just called Working Together) tells the different professionals – like teachers, doctors, school nurses, health visitors, social workers and others – and organisations working with you and your family, what they should be doing to improve your life and to keep you safe from abuse and neglect. In Working Together, ‘children’ means anyone who is not yet 18 years old.

This Young Person’s Guide has been written to help explain the Working Together guidance. It might be useful to you if you have questions about help you think that you or someone you are worried about should be getting.
