Safeguarding Awareness Week 2021

This year we’ll be taking part in the South Yorkshire wide Safeguarding Awareness Week #SYSAW21
Our key message continues to be ‘safeguarding is everyone business’ and there will be a host of online workshops and webinars available to professionals, workers and volunteers on this year’s themes including:
• Domestic Abuse
• Online safety
• Loneliness
• Mental health and emotional wellbeing
For some events you'll need to book a place to attend. Find out what’s happening in Rotherham.

Principles and Priorities:

Principle 1

Championing the interests and rights of children and young people.

Principle 2

Involving all partners in Rotherham in a duty to co-operate on safeguarding matters.

Principle 3

Receiving independent challenge and scrutiny, to ensure feedback, accountability and learning.

Principle 4

Change is led by measurable improvements in the safeguarding systems and outcomes for children and their families.

Outcome: Safe at Home

Children who are neglected will have their needs recognised early and receive the right level of support to improve outcomes. We will seek assurance that Children in Care have their needs assessed and met in timely manner.

Outcome: Safe in the Community

Children who are being exploited in the community will be identified early. They will receive appropriate services which are informed by research on adverse childhood experiences.

Outcome: Safe Safeguarding Systems

We will know if services and practice is effective and how this is improving outcomes for children. We will also identify areas of continuous learning and improvement, e.g. Safeguarding Practice Reviews and challenge these to improve both practice and outcomes.

Rotherham Multi-Agency Arrangements for Safeguarding Children and Review of Child Deaths

The Rotherham Safeguarding Children Partnership are pleased to publish the new Multi-Agency Safeguarding Children Arrangements for Rotherham; and the Arrangements for Reviewing Child Deaths, in partnership with the other three local authority areas in South Yorkshire.

The multi-agency safeguarding children arrangements, to be implemented from September 2019, will be independently chaired and consists of the three key agencies that collectively hold the statutory responsibilities for safeguarding in Rotherham: NHS Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, South Yorkshire Police; and also includes all the agencies and organisations in the wider partnership providing services to children and their families in Rotherham.

The Rotherham Safeguarding Children Arrangements and all the partners named within them have a key role to play in ensuring that children in Rotherham are kept safe and that all organisations work together effectively to promote their welfare.

Safeguarding means promoting a child’s welfare and protecting them to live safely within their families and community, free from abuse and neglect.
