An understanding of child protection is part of good practice for all early years settings. Workers and students who have regular contact with children and families have a central role to play because of their knowledge of and concern for individual children. Yet, if unprepared, early years workers can find themselves on the sidelines of child protection, uncertain about the best action to take. This revised edition of "Child Protection" has been expanded to make it truly comprehensive for all those working in playgroups and nurseries, primary schools and out-of-school settings across the UK. It addresses the differences in legislation and terminology across the UK, examines high-profile child protection cases, legal positions on hitting children, criminal checks and registering, no-touch policies, as well as giving fully updated details for useful organisations, books and support materials.
