Safeguarding Children Training - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if a child discloses abuse to me?
Listen carefully without asking leading questions, reassure the child they were right to tell you, and avoid promising to keep it secret. Document what the child said using their exact words where possible, and report immediately to your designated safeguarding lead or local children's services. Do not investigate yourself or confront the alleged abuser.
How do I recognize signs of child abuse?
Signs vary by abuse type but include unexplained injuries, behavioral changes, regression in development, sexualized behavior inappropriate for age, fear of specific people, poor hygiene or nutrition, and frequent absences. Remember that one sign alone may not indicate abuse - look for patterns and consider the child's overall presentation and circumstances.
Who can I report safeguarding concerns to?
Report to your organization's designated safeguarding lead first, or directly to local children's social services if urgent. You can also contact the NSPCC helpline (0808 800 5000) or police if a child is in immediate danger. All professionals have a duty to report safeguarding concerns regardless of their role.
What is the difference between child protection and safeguarding?
Safeguarding is the broader concept of protecting children from harm and promoting their welfare, including prevention activities. Child protection specifically refers to the processes and interventions when children are identified as suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, including formal investigations and legal proceedings.
How often should safeguarding training be updated?
All staff should receive updated safeguarding training at least every three years, with annual refresher sessions recommended. Designated safeguarding leads need more frequent training every two years. Training should also be updated whenever there are significant policy changes or following serious case reviews in your area.
