I know that this sounds really silly but I wondered if somebody could give me a definintion of "safeguarding" - I seem to have a bit of a problem getting my head around this. I of course understand that this all involves protecting children from abuse and or neglect etc. But when I had my inspection, I felt like the Inspector wanted a bit more information from me and I am getting worried as my Inspection Date approaches that I will not be able to verbalise what it is specifically.
Please help ! Laymans terms please for an exhausted Mummy and Childminder!
