The manual provides comprehensive information and guidance on all aspects of child safeguarding across a broad range of agencies and sets out the actions to be taken by all agencies to protect children from harm whenever this occurs or is suspected. The new procedures are issued following the publication of new national guidance from the central government in Working Together to Safeguard Children, April 2006.
