Addressing safeguarding concerns As set out in more detail in separate safeguarding guidance, schools and colleges, led by a designated safeguarding lead or deputy wherever possible, should review and revise their child protection policy as circumstances continue to evolve. This guidance supports schools and colleges to continue to meet their safeguarding responsibilities as set out in Keeping children safe in education. Early years settings should continue to take all necessary steps to keep children safe during this period and have regard to the government’s statutory guidance Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015. The safeguarding and welfare sections of the early years foundation stage framework still apply, including requirements relating to child protection arrangements.
