Safeguarding children in early education is about more than responding to harm — it’s about creating environments where every child feels safe, seen and supported.
This article explores the shared responsibility of child protection, the importance of recognising early signs of harm, and how educators can respond with confidence and care. We break down key indicators, reporting obligations, and the role of professional boundaries in preventing grooming. You’ll also find guidance on building a culture of safety through training, policy, and everyday practice — with practical ways CELA can support your team.
