Questions on Safeguarding, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What is my role in safeguarding and why does it matter? What should I do if a child makes a disclosure? How should school staff maintain professional boundaries?

Effective safeguarding is a non-negotiable in school and something every teacher must get right. In this accessible, dip-in-and-out guide, a panel of safeguarding experts offer insights to help Early Career Teachers (ECTs) navigate complex situations and ensure children are protected from all forms of harm.

Each chapter is framed around key questions on safeguarding practice, from responding to issues of neglect, harmful sexual behaviour and online safety to understanding safer recruitment and staff codes of conduct. Drawing on extensive first-hand experience, panellists consider challenges that may occur in school settings and share guidance to help ECTs identify when children are at risk and approach difficult conversations with confidence. Top tips and reflective moments are included, to emphasise the importance of listening, being curious and asking questions when something doesn't feel right.

As an ECT, your role in safeguarding is vital, but it shouldn't feel intimidating: it is part of your daily care for the children in your setting, ensuring they feel safe and have the best possible outcomes. This book is essential reading for Early Career Teachers and a useful staffroom resource for all settings.
