• Identifying and responding to different categories of harm and abuse and managing disclosures in the context of safeguarding children.
• Reviewing the key legislation and guidance affecting your response to concerns about a child's safety or welfare
• Knowing what is likely to happen following a referral to children's social care or other agency and the role the setting has in this multi-agency child protection process
