Safeguarding children and young people from harm and providing an environment in which children can flourish is a key societal value. Organisations are required to co-operate with other agencies to protect individual children and young people from harm. Supportive and trustful relationships between children, their families and healthcare staff will be a key factor in enabling effective safeguarding management. Dependent upon roles, healthcare workers can be in an important position in helping to recognise child maltreatment. This training is for all Clinical General Practice staff working with children, young people and/or their parents/ carers and/or any adult who could pose a risk to children. This training is for Haringey and Islington staff only.
