SueFinanceManager Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Revised safeguarding guidance for professionals working with children In response to recommendations from Professor Eileen Munro’s report, A child-centred system, the revised Working together to safeguard children guidance clarifies the core legal requirements on individuals and organisations to keep children safe. It sets out, in one place, the legal requirements that health services, social workers, police, schools and other organisations that work with children, must follow – and emphasises that safeguarding is the responsibility of all professionals who work with children. On the 21st March the NHS Commissioning Board also published its accountability and assurance framework for safeguarding in the NHS. The framework complements the revised statutory guidance and will support NHS organisations in fulfilling their safeguarding responsibilities. The guidance will come into effect from 15 April 2013. In the Working Together guidance they have: created a single source document that brings together all the statutory responsibilities on organisations and individuals to safeguard children; and made it explicit that safeguarding is the responsibility of all professionals who work with children. The guidance is available on the Department’s website. The accountability and assurance framework for safeguarding in the NHS is available here.
