...The specialist skills of the Health Visitor are crucially important in safeguarding children (HM Government, 2010). In the past decade there has been significant change in nursing and healthcare that has led to a much wider remit for those involved in working with children and subsequently child protection (Hall and Elliman, 2006; Department of Health, 2004); indeed Health Visitors are responding to a national drive to further enhance their contribution to public health (Department of Health, 2009). It is against this backdrop that the critical need to develop the leadership role of the Specialist Community Public Health nurse within the process of recognising and referring child maltreatment emerges. This requires Team Managers to support staff to safeguard children, which highlights the need for effective clinical supervision, improved interagency working, and a change in organisational culture. Using a Case Study presented in Appendix One, consideration will be given to the significance of the role of the Specialist Community Public Health nurse in the recognition and referral of a child in need of protection. Consideration will also be given to the complexities of the recognition of abuse, and the barriers which may hinder the safeguarding process. For the purposes of this assignment the terms Specialist Community Public Health Nurse and Health Visitor will be used interchangeably. Elizabeth is clearly a ‘child in need’ as defined by Section 17(10)...

...Safeguarding children in early years setting Theoretical perspectives on safeguarding have developed over the years and include a range of different themes and perspectives.(Oliver and Pitt 2011).Therefore I have decided to do my literature review on safeguarding children as I feel that gaining for knowledge on how to safeguard children I am able to be more confident and also apply them to my setting. I also want to improve my knowledge of current policies and practice aimed at safeguarding children and young people. In my setting I avoid to implement the safeguarding policies as I do not have much knowledge. In my literature review I will research on how we safeguard the children, working together with other agency, the effects on children that are maltreated. I will be also looking at theories and why child maltreatment occurs. Safeguarding legislation and government guidance says that safeguarding means protecting children from maltreatment, preventing impairment of children’s health or development ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care (Barlow and Schrader-McMillan 2010). However according to the legislation taking action is there to enable all children and young people to have the best outcome. “The action we take to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm - is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play working together...

This information is often necessary to complete customers’ orders, meet payroll, or perform other important business functions. However, if sensitive information gets into the wrong people, there is every tendency that it can lead to fraud, or identity theft. The cost of defending a security breach is alarming. Gaining the trust of customers and prospective customer may be a very difficult task. Some companies may have a division in the organization that takes care of protecting PII.

...Review Three Cases of Child Abuse When it comes to protecting children, the family plays a central role, particularly during the child’s earliest days. Children are also part of a broader community where their relationships, engagement, and roles deepen over time and take on increased significance. For this reason, protecting children is both a private and a public responsibility. It is by looking at the history of childhood that we make our judgements about child abuse today. History is used as a means of casting light on present issues. Some people feel that whatever is happening today is an improvement on the past, while others look at past centuries through rose- coloured spectacles. (Walker, P. 2005) Understanding how abuse and neglect should be defined is not simply an academic issue. Child abuse is a culturally defined phenomenon. Sullivan, P. (2006) commented on ‘the rights of a child to be protected from parents unable to cope at a level assumed to be reasonable by the society in which they reside’. Child protection system aims to prevent situations that can result in a child or young person aged sixteen and under experience abuse that puts them in danger of not developing appropriately or losing their life (Save the Children UK, 2008). The abuse can fall under the category of child abuse which could be in form of neglect, emotional, physicals and sexual, (Woolfson et al 2009). Severe child maltreatment is conventionally defined within child protection practice...
