  • Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) – sets out role, responsibilities and best practices for agencies and organisations that come into contact with children including early years settings, social services, care providers and police.
  • Protection of Children Act 1999 and Disclosure & Barring service (DBS) – requires a list to be kept of persons considered unsuitable to work with children. Anyone working with children should be checked against the list to ensure that they do not pose a risk – this is called a DBS check.
  • The Children Act 2004 – it is illegal to hit a child if it leaves a lasting mark on the skin or causes mental harm. Local agencies must work in partnership to safeguarding children and promote their wellbeing.
