  Abstract

Child abuse occurs where a child is harmed or not protected from harm. Over recent years the term ‘safeguarding’, or putting measures in place to improve childrens’ safety and prevent abuse, has been introduced. Child protection is the part of the safeguarding process where it is necessary to intervene when there is a reasonable belief that a child is at risk of significant harm, and should be seen in the broader context of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
