  • safeguard and protect children and young people based on evidence available at the time and escalate concerns to the next level

  • know how, when and to whom to report different types of abuse, neglect and harm
  • follow the Wales Safeguarding Procedures and the regional decision making process and advise other colleagues of these when required
