Comment on the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel’s...
Steve Crocker, ADCS President, said:
“Our work with babies and very young children is particularly challenging as they are unable to tell us what has happened to them or how they feel so their safety and welfare is always our paramount concern. This is a complex area of work requiring all agencies to work together to assess the available evidence to determine whether a situation is causing or at risk of causing significant harm. Whilst research in this area is limited, professionals do work in accordance with nationally recognised statutory guidance supplemented with specific guidance published by NICE and the Royal College of Paediatrics. This briefing offers an opportunity for local partnerships to reflect on their processes and procedures, at the same time the Panel has helpfully called on the Department of Health and Social Care to do a stocktake of available resources to help safeguarding practitioners undertake their role.”
