Protecting and Safeguarding Children in Schools: A Multi-agency Approach
Abstract
Schools play a vital role in safeguarding children and young people, yet there has been little research into how schools identify and respond to child protection concerns, and their engagement with local authority children’s services. This book highlights the findings of a major ESRC-funded study on the child protection role played by schools, their decision-making processes and involvement in inter-agency working. Crucial reading for academics, practitioners and managers in children’s social care and education, it evaluates the impact of recent policy developments, including the Academies and Free Schools programme, as well as the restructuring of local authority children’s services.

Child safeguarding practices in schools-staff awareness, preventive measures, reporting and referral mechanisms, and addressing barriers-contribute to safer learning environments and improved child protection outcomes by preventing abuse, facilitating early identification of risks, strengthening reporting, and enhancing institutional responses.
“These measures are intended to contribute to safer learning environments and improved child protection outcomes by preventing abuse, facilitating early identification of risks, strengthening reporting and enhancing institutional responses to child protection concerns (Baginsky et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
