It isn’t down to just one person who can safeguard a child. Everyone who works or volunteers with children or young people has a responsibility for keeping them safe. It is essential to have knowledge on how to report safeguarding concerns, neglect, trafficking, or exploitation so they can be addressed quickly and appropriately.
However, if an occasion arises where you do need to report a safeguarding concern, it’s best to report it to your designated safeguarding lead.
