Safeguarding is a broad concept that focuses on promoting the welfare of all children and preventing harm before it occurs. It involves creating safe environments through policies, staff training, and health and safety measures. The aim is to protect children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation while supporting their overall well-being and development.
Child protection is a specific part of safeguarding that deals with responding to cases where a child is at risk of or has already experienced significant harm. It involves taking action to protect children from immediate danger in situations involving abuse or neglect.
