Description
Helps learners to understand fully the practical skills they need to ensure the safety of children and young people in Early Years. Learners gain a clearer understanding of 'hot button' child-protection issues and how learners or practitioners can develop considered approaches in the face of media and parental pressure. - Integrates recent developments over vetting and barring, and brings readers up-to-date with changes in the system for safeguarding - New content reflects increased concern about health issues such as the childhood obesity and a safe approach to the use of image technology on mobile phones - Practitioners are given the tools to address continuing dilemmas around partnership with families, the role of physical contact, and how to blend safeguarding with best practice for equality
