Asserting a Culture of Child Safety: Offering children the protection and care that they deserve

Child protection training, undertaken by educators, maintains a general knowledge of what to do if concerns arise. This book aims to help the sector take a great leap forward, to be working from a position of earlier identification and prevention. There needs to be a strong force of proactivity for minimising risk of harm coming to children and letting them know that they have a right to be informed, and partake in decision making, that affects them. Children need the insight and to learn strategies to advocate their own self-worth, and that of their peers. This book provides a new paradigm of protection, one that fosters 'A Culture of Child Safety'. This book aims to be a practical tool, to give clarification, and confidence about what to do to create a culture of child safety at your early learning service.
