 Top tips for safeguarding children from lessons learned from serious case reviews:
The National society for the prevention of cruelty to children (NSPCC Learning) has published a new report called 'learning from case reviews'. It summarises the learning points from case reviews. (Serious case reviews take place each time a child has died, been seriously injured or found to have suffered significant harm and aims to look at what could be done differently to try and prevent future similar incidents).
Case reviews published since 2017 highlight that practitioners don’t always have the right training to recognise and respond to child protection concerns or know what to do if they do have concerns and that organisations might not also have appropriate safeguarding and child protection procedures in place.
Learning from these case reviews emphasises that:
- practitioners need to be able to identify indicators of child abuse, apply professional curiosity and take the child’s lived experience into consideration
- all staff working in an early years setting should have regular and ongoing safeguarding and child protection training
- early years settings should share information with other agencies.
