Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview of the research
The health, safety and safeguarding refers to attempt of practices to make sure about own
health as well as security. It includes to take proper precautions to maintain health and take
effective safety measures for self safeguarding (Chisnell and Kelly, 2019). However, people
conduct various practices for these aspects like visiting hospitals, take medicines, intake proper
balanced diet, physical exercise, maintain hygiene and so on. In addition to this, healthcare
professionals plays an important role in terms of making citizens aware of healthy habits and
activities through they can avoid infections, diseases or health issue for remaining healthy as
well as safe. Moreover, the safeguarding practices consist to take safety measures like crossing
roads carefully, follow traffic rules to avoid accidents and avoid harmful substance intake to
maintain health & safety (Nickel and Lungfiel, 2018).
Background of the research
Health and safety measures are intake throughout the lifespan of an individual. Initially, it
consist to careful handling the newborn baby with proper supporting clothes and cushions to

Rationale of the research
In context of this investigation, it is important to carry out study to evaluate more
effective as well as efficient strategies which are suitable to ensure health, safety and
safeguarding of an individual throughout their lifespan (Stewart and MacIntyre, 2017). It is
observed that many of people are not aware about potential precautions due to which they have
faced severe health issue or injuries. However, it is significant to identify appropriate practices
which can be further converted in guidelines for people to maintain their health and safety in
proper manner. Moreover, it is essential to evaluate more innovative actions which plays an
important role to ensure health, safety and safeguarding within the entire lifespan of human
beings (Petti, 2018).
Chapter 2: Literature Review
The basic knowledge related to health, safety and safeguarding in life
The health, safety and safeguarding of an individual is mostly depends upon their own
regular activities and practices. As per views given by Acharya (2019), it includes the fact that
injuries of health problems can be easily prevented with the help of taking several precautions
related to diet, intake of other substances and conduct different activities on daily basis.
However, it has been analysed that an individual has number of duties regarding their health
safety that are mentioned here. Initially, it is necessary to carry out proper assessment of related
risk factors along with evaluating effective ways to overcome with the same. Secondly, it is
required to maintain health & safety at work place by applying appropriate methods or
procedures including secure equipments. Thirdly, it is important render accurate information,
knowledge, learning and training in regards to secure working techniques along with maintain

healthy working environment (Damaraju, 2017). It is essential to make sufficient availability of
safety devices and equipment along with promoting effective cooperation between staff members
for ensuring about maintenance of safety at work place. The risk factor of individuals can be
occur from different factors such as optimization in state of health, poorly development of
economic factor, etc. The safeguarding is highly necessary in children as they are more prone to
abuse and neglect. There are many children who are living with their non-biological parents in
which the risk of abuse is occur. The adult and young person faces neglect and abuse from their
surroundings. As the highly attracted to their surroundings which involve them to take part in
various activities which harm their safeguarding (Arrey, 2019). The use of substance and other is
also a risk factor in safeguarding people and their friends or family. The culture and social factor
also cause neglect and abuse in the life of people which develops dress in their development of
physically, emotionally and mentally. The social factors include unemployment discrimination
which develops risk of neglect among people and it is also a threat of safeguarding people as it
also developed several barriers among individuals from which they cannot develop properly.
The effective strategies for ensuring proper health, safety and safeguarding throughout the
lifespan
According to the Harlow and Smith (2016), the effective strategies should be applied by
everyone in their lives for maintaining health, safety and safeguarding within entire life. It
includes more effective as well as efficient practices which ate mentioned here. Firstly, people
should follow healthy lifestyle which must contain intake of healthy diet, regular exercise,
regular check-ups, avoid harmful substances etc. Secondly, a person is required to remain
focussed and careful while carrying out any kind of tasks regularly to avoid relevant injuries or
incidents for safeguarding themselves. There are also different strategies that are developed by
non-Government and government authorities. They implement different laws and legislation for
the welfare of people so that they can reduce abuse and neglect among them. Their aim is to
deliver safeguarding two people from their lifespan so that their proper health and wellbeing can
be achieved. The implementation of this factor reduces the risk of harm that develops due to
various other factors which are related to individual’s life. There are some factors occur from
which individuals are related with their life (Greer, 2016). These factors are economic social
physical and biological which people are vulnerable. The people must understand this factor so
that they can reduce abuse in their life. As these factors required proper attention like

maintaining diet, exercise and other from which we can maintain their health and safeguarding in
their entire life. The individual must consider there safeguarding principles while receiving any
services from health and social care services. This also helps them in enhancing their safety,
safeguarding and health. The individual must also adapt various policies that are implemented
for safeguarding them. The individual needs to understand the importance of diet exercise and
other factors within their life so that they can avoid different incidents in order to safeguarding
themselves. The following up these strategies can help in ensuring proper safety, health and
safeguarding of people in through their lives (Seale, 2017).
The role of healthcare practitioners in terms of health, safety and safeguarding of people through
their lives
Northway and et. al. (2017) states that the healthcare practitioners plays an important role
in terms of providing desired information to citizens to take precautions in order to secure them
from various infections or diseases. It includes that they put efforts to evaluate the symptoms and
cause behind occurred health problem and provide appropriate care services to make an
individual diseases free. However, they follow ethical principles such as informed consent,
beneficence, trust & honesty to avoid clinical mistakes and improve patient experiences.
Meanwhile, care professional carefully follow legislation for safeguarding people including The
Children Act 1989, The Children and Social Work Act 2017, The Care Act 2014, The
Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 etc. Moreover, it consist utilise of effective principles
to maintain health and safety of individuals by considering Empowerment, Prevention,
Proportionality, Protection, Partnership and Accountability (Chisnell and Kelly, 2019). There are
some principles of safeguarding occur which are needed to be consider. This provides
understanding about safeguarding of health and safety of individuals. These principles include
empowerment, prevention and proportionality. The empowerment provides understanding that
people should have power so that they can make their own decisions. Their decisions are
significant to be supported by others. The prevention of harm, abuse and neglect is a highly
productive and preventive principle for vulnerable people before happening of it. It is necessary
to make safeguarding in a proportional manner. This should not be occur as over intrusive in life
of vulnerable individuals, families and their surroundings. There are various people who need
safeguarding so provide them fully protection so that their mental physical health can be
influenced. The communities, local authorities and businesses that are related with health and

social care must play significant role in partnership so that they can reduce abuse and neglect.
They can play their role by detecting the cause of harm and reporting it. This provides
sustainability of prevention from harm abuse and neglect among people by providing them safety
including their health. The implementation of these various acts also provide effective strategies
among health and social Care organization from which they can deliver proper safeguarding to
people. The help of such acts, the health care practitioner can provide safeguarding two people
for their life span by considering their needs and requirements (Wong, 2018). These acts have
some limitations from which secure and safe environment can be developed that provide high
quality of services among people by healthcare professionals. The healthcare professionals can
also conduct various seminar and inspection from which we can regularly assess the impact of
factors on people. This helps them in providing safeguarding to vulnerable people (Boggis,
2018).
Chapter 3: Research methodology
Qualitative research methods will be focussed in order to analyse study about effective
strategies of safeguarding to gain appropriate findings. It is favourable because of gaining in-
depth details about the selected research problems which provide support to achieve accurate
results (Glesne, 2016). However, it is focussed on the characteristics of target population which
is more suitable to carry out this investigation.
Data sources: There are two types of data resources are occur that are primary and
secondary. The primary resources provide information by structure questionnaire and this is
occur from newly information. The secondary sources provide information from data that are
already occur.
Ethical consideration: At time of conducting research, it is necessary to conduct
primary and secondary research in an appropriate manner. So while conducting research it is
necessary to consider ethics so that confidentiality informed consent beneficence and autonomy
can be considered. The researcher must follow ethical consideration in both primary and
secondary research (Acharya, 2019).
Sampling: This is an effective process for selecting sample size within research. The
sampling occur in in two manner which are probability and nonprobability. In this research, the
sample size in select on random basis is 40 respondents will be selected.
