Safeguarding Children and Young People

The safeguarding children and young people community is a virtual network of individuals with an interest in this area of practice.

The purpose is to promote the care, mental and physical well being of adolescents by:

• maintaining a body of expertise as a resource for the profession
• providing peer support
• continuing education
• facilitating a dialogue between the RCN and members for the purpose of consultation and working on pertinent child health issues of the day.

Our objectives:

• To continue to actively maintain our community and its function
• To promote a high standard of safeguarding for children and young people
• To raise the profile of safeguarding children and young people

Resources:

• RCN (2014) Safeguarding children and young people - every nurse's responsibility
