Unit 11 identify safeguarding legislation for children's workforce?

[Kaylee30]

Hi I’m currently doing unit 11 in the level two cypw folder I’m stuck on th first two questions-
1- identify a current,national piece of legislation relevant to safeguarding children and young peoples welfare.
2- identify two current local policies or guidance in relation to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people.

I’m totally stuck so if anyone could push me in the right direction to get me going I would really appreciate it xx

Hi, are you able to check this with your course tutor? The legislation you'll find online will be mostly in full and at level 2 you'll benefit from a breakdown of the Acts to understand them properly xx

This is the sample chapter from pearsonschoolsandfecolleges TDA 2.2 safeguarding children's welfare and this level 2 book on amazon.co.uk but there has been newer legislation introduced since the handbook was published.

NSPCC has sections where you can look at the safeguarding and child protection for your home nation ie. if you work in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-...ection-system/

You will also need to ask your setting/placement for a copy of their safeguarding policy so you can see what it says.

Best wishes xx
