After looking up online Safeguarding online i discovered the requirements that schools need to follow to ensure they are reaching the correct standard of requirements to care for the children to their full potential while they are within the education setting.
Ofsted
adopts the definition of safeguarding used in the Children Act 2004 and in the
Department for Education and Skills (now DfE) guidance document Working together to safeguard children,
which focuses on safeguarding and promoting children’s and learners’ welfare.[1] This can be summarised as:
n protecting children and learners from
maltreatment
n preventing impairment of children’s and
learners’ health or development
n ensuring that children and learners are
growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective
care
n undertaking that role so as to enable those
children and learners to have optimum life chances and to enter adulthood
successfully.

When looking on the Gov website there are many links that appear with regarding safeguarding children. It puts into prospective how important safeguarding is, making sure that every child is cared for.
website from my workplace has the policies accessible at anytime for parents ,teacher, local authorities and Ofsted to view infomation regarding data protection, behaviour policies , child protection and also each subject policies ... When I began my position as a Dance Teacher at the school I was given an induction booklet which contained all the key policies that I should follow to fulfil my position.
Would love to hear about policies that you follow in your education setting.
