Introduction to the Safeguarding Standards and Toolkit
The following standards have been developed to
help to safeguard and protect children and young people in Eastern
Region. They have been endorsed by both Peterborough Safeguarding
Children Board and Peterborough Children's Trust.
They are informed by legislation, research and
good practice, and have been developed in consultation with a range
of stakeholders including local authority commissioners and
Safeguarding Board leads. Importantly the document’s provenance
lies with the partners of Safe Network: Children England whose
regional leadership has supported their development and NSPCC whose
Safety Check Toolkit provided the standards origination. The whole
project has been funded and supported by Go East the Government
office for the region.
The Safeguarding Standards make explicit the
expectations in relation to safeguarding children and young people.
When implemented, they will provide assurance to Children’s Trust
commissioners and Local Safeguarding Children Boards that
commissioned services are able to appropriately safeguard children,
young people and more importantly, create safe environments for
children and young people and their families.
The Safeguarding Standards are accompanied by
a workbook, a resource pack and a Commissioners Evaluation
template. All organisations wishing to provide services to the
Children’s Trust will be required to successfully complete the
‘Self Audit Tool’ (pages 19-27) of the Safeguarding Standards.
