"Placing children at the centre of safeguarding principles and practices is vital for ensuring the best child-protection. This essential resource provides early years practitioners with all that they need to be confident and competent as they fulfil their roles and obligations to safeguard and protect children. Exploring the main factors that impact on the lives of young children in the current safeguarding climate, this book is a starting point for understanding the risks and categories of abuse and neglect. Grounded in best practice, it focuses on giving practitioners encouragement and advice to help shape and drive practice forward with child-centred motives, practices, and perspectives. The book offers: Insights into the current safeguarding climate backed by practical examples; an introduction to managing the different safeguarding challenges faced by early years professionals; methods for contextualising these for children in the early years; guidance on supporting vulnerable children, their families and other agencies working alongside them; reflections, case studies, and a wide range of example scenarios, and voices and insights from across the sector woven throughout for a holistic understanding of safeguarding.
