The need to protect children from harm and abuse is an essential part of early years care. Anyone who works with other people's children needs basic information and awareness about child abuse, and should know how to respond if there are concerns about a child's safety. This book is a practical guide which provides answers to many questions early years practitioners will have about safeguarding children. It includes information about child abuse, advice on how to respond to concerns, details of the statutory framework, guidance on management and support, and suggestions for building a relationship with families that may help prevent child abuse.

The period 1950-2000 is of particular significance and importance in Northern Ireland. During this time the recognition of the needs of children, and the responsibility both collectively and individually to meet these, has moved increasingly to the forefront of society. Prime importance is now given by the legislators and specific statutory and voluntary organisations to ensuring that children, with a range of social, physical and emotional needs have access to services to enable them to achieve their full potential. Increasingly this right is being enshrined in legislation.
