Safeguarding is primarily the action taken to assist the individualistic including the kids

approaches through them. Various principles used by the UK government to safeguard the
protection of the kids include the ensuring the kids are confident even to make the correct
decisions, take measures to protect from the mistreatment occur and make regulation to protect
the kids from any unacceptable behaviour or the treatment by others. These are done by

suspected harm or the revelation.
Different signs that might confirm that children's or the adults are harmed due to violence
and neglecting treatment is the alteration is seen in their behaviour which symbolise through
their rude or aggressive behaviour. They started living alone and are afraid to visit in societal
events. This can also be seen when they don't pay attention in their hygiene and food absorption.

explain their cuts or the redness in their body. It also includes kids freaked out if anyone touch
them or they afraid to be familiar to hangout with others (Assini-Meytin and et. al., 2020).

individuals by talking to them in a smooth and low tone manner without providing them with any
judgement of the actions they have gone through. When understanding their concern then
provide them with the seemly service and support need to be taken while protecting them form
the abuse or unappreciated behaviour. One should provide the individuals with the cooperative
non verbal communication while their reassuring them that their information are confidential and
provide them the confidence to speak against the action that has took place with them.
Additionally, ask them about whether they have any evidence or not as it will support to penalize
the guilty individual as this action will provide the feeling of safety to them.
Role of the provider or the supporter here is to report the case to the experienced agency where
case is filled, these agencies will support the adults and kids in investigating the situations. The
report can be filled to the police where when provider can directly refer the child for immediate
action. Police will take the child for any safety surrounding for about 72 hours where the
children or the adult will addressed about the actions the have gone through. Other than that one
can contact to the local authority services that are available to register the child protection issues.
