key areas of activity:

Safeguarding Children – Shared Responsibility
Statutory organisations that work with children have a duty under
Section 11 of the Children Act 2004 to ensure their functions
are discharged with regard to the need to safeguard and
promote the welfare of children.
Safeguarding children: a shared responsibility will enable those whose
work brings them into contact with children and families to:




understand what to do when they have a concern about a child’s
welfare
know how to work as part of a multi-agency or multi-disciplinary
team
be clear about roles and responsibilities
understand statutory requirements and how to apply them.
