Safeguarding Babies and Young Children - A guide for early years professionals

By John Powell and Elaine Uppal (Open University Press, 19.99 ISBN 9780335234080)

With the revised Early Years Foundation Stage placing renewed emphasis on safeguarding and the need for staff to have a clear understanding of their responsibilities in this area, this is a timely publication. The first section addresses issues around safeguarding babies and young children from abuse and developing ethical practices.

The book goes on to explore practical considerations around identifying abuse, working with colleagues internally and externally, using the Common Assessment Framework and understanding policies and procedures. There are reflections on how future practice can be developed effectively and how practitioners can find a means of coping with this sensitive area.
