Safeguarding in Early Years: What to Do if You're Worried a Child Is Being Abused (Audio Version)
Safeguarding in Early Years settings is not just the responsibility of the Designated Safeguarding Lead – it’s a shared duty. Every adult working with children, from apprentices to nursery managers, plays a crucial role in protecting children from harm.
This audiobook is a free, accessible version of the official government guidance: What to do if you’re worried a child is being abused. It’s designed to support Early Years practitioners, childcare providers, educators, and professionals working in any child-focused environment.
Whether you're preparing snacks, supervising play, or closing up for the day, you could be the adult a child turns to – or the one who notices something concerning. That makes your role in safeguarding vital.
Listening to this guidance helps create stronger safeguarding cultures where staff can recognise the signs of abuse or neglect, understand how to respond, and feel confident in reporting concerns. This isn’t about ticking boxes – it’s about developing a mindset where every concern is taken seriously, and every child is protected.
