Child protection is part of the wider work to help safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people, in regards to the activity that is used to protect children who are being abused or neglected. It involved protecting children from being mistreated. And prevent impairment of a child's development and health to ensure that they are raised in a positive way, and in a safe and caring environments. Parents and carers who fail to protect or care for their children might have to go to court, and they may have their child/children taken away from them and put into care. This doesn't happen very happen and each case varies on how critical and important the case was.
I feel it is important to take into account the personalities of the children, as learning may be inhibited if one child is particularly domineering or intimidating. It is also necessary to look at the subject being taught and be flexible in the grouping of children. I personally feel that for subjects such as Literacy and Numeracy, where there is pressure for academic success the children should be split into ability groups. I feel by working in ability groups, the children are still able to support each other and there is still a hint of Vygotsky’s ZPD theory being practised, as there is still a range of abilities within an ability group and the more able of one particular ability group, can support the others in the group. It is important to remember that no one child is the same as another, even if they are classified as being of similar ability.
Protecting children from child abuse is not always preventable but there are many ways to help and reassure a child. A setting policy may ask the practitioner to have good listening skills so that the child will feel that they can express any concerns, the ability for offer emotional and physical support, time and energy and the ability to recognise and focus on the child's confidentiality. If extreme cases of abuse have been disclosed it is important that you record what the child has said and pass it on to a senior member of staff and then keep to the settings confidentiality policy.

It is important to understand a child or young person in the context of their life and the impact of the transitions they may be going through. This is about different services working together in order to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. It is most effective when organisations and agencies are clear about their own role and those of other agencies. Sharing information in a timely and accurate way is an essential part of helping to deliver better services. It is important to understand issues surrounding confidentiality and when to pass on information.
INFORMATION SHEET Challenging Behaviour – Supporting Change Using a functional assessment to understand challenging behaviour and identify ways of supporting behaviour change Mark Addison, Counselling Psychologist, Community Learning Disability Team, Somerset Partnership NHS and Social Care Trust. When a child’s behaviour has been identified as challenging, it is essential that a rationale is first provided as to exactly why it is challenging. Indeed, a problem for one person is not always a problem for another person. Sometimes the question must be asked, “Whose problem is it?” This is not to suggest that a difference of opinion should be ignored. Indeed, the fact that one person believes a behaviour to be a bigger problem than someone else, may simply reflect a limited knowledge about child development, or unrealistic expectations about how the child should behave.
Another value of a multi-professional approach is that they can safeguard children when abuse is noticed or suspected, the multi-agency team comes together to take any necessary steps to protect the child and can also support the family. The value of working in a multi-professional approach, when working with parents is by providing and supporting families with what they need. For example if families are living in poor quality and poorly maintained housing which may have damp in, this can cause diseases for instance asthma. This will affect the children’s learning and development as they will be ill or taking time of school. As Maslow’s hierarchy places needs in order which is most important and the first basic physical need is shelter which is priority.
