A key change to Keeping Children1 Safe In Education in September 2018 included the responsibility adults have in ensuring peer to peer abuse, of any kind, does not occur. Where a child is suffering significant harm, or is likely to do so, action should be taken to protect that child (such action might be taken under section 47 and section 44 of the Children Act 1989). Action should also be taken to promote the welfare of a child in need of additional support, even if they are not suffering harm or are at immediate risk (such action might be taken under section 17 of the Children Act 1989). The role of Brimsham Green School Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play in safeguarding children. School staff are particularly important as they are in a position to identify concerns early and provide help for children, to prevent concerns from escalating.
