Safeguarding
‘Putting learners at the heart of what we do’ . (Success for All, 2002).
The health and safety of learners has always been an important consideration
The Green Paper: Every Child Matters, and the Children Act 2004
Introduction and context
‘means those aged between 0-19, those who are over 19 and receiving services as care leavers under section 23C –24D of the
Children Act 1989 and those over 19 but under 25 years with learning difficulties
within the meaning of section 13 Learning and Skills Act 000 and who are receiving
services under that Act’. (Children Act 2004)
By definition ‘Children and young people’:
Every Child Matters (ECM) is a UK government initiative that was launched in 2003. It is one of the most important policy initiative and development programmes in relation to children and children's services of the last decade
It has been the title of three government papers, leading to the Children Act 2004. Every Child Matters covers children and young adults up to the age of 19, or 24 for those with disabilites.
Its main aims are for every child and young adult, whatever their background or circumstances, to have the support they need to meet the 5 identified outcomes
Every Child Matters (ECM)
The very use of the term ’child’ in the title makes it seem as if ECM is not relevant to the post 16 sector.
The centre for excellence in teacher training has produced material called ‘Every Learner Matters’. This is to help and ensure all post 16 providers analyse how their provision meets the requirements of the ECM outcomes
Every Learner Matters?
Be healthy Stay safe Enjoying and achieving Making a positive contribution Achieving economic well being
These are now incorporated into the Common Inspection Framework
The 5 outcomes of ECM
In your groups draw a sheep (all will be revealed later) in the middle write down the ECM outcome you have been given
In your groups go clockwise around each of the 5 outcomes and note down how you would meet these needs. You will have 5 mins at each to discuss and make bullet points
I shall time you and move you on!
Activity
This outcome deals with all aspects of health and health promotion, such as encouraging learners to adopt healthy lifestyles and make healthy choices e.g. choosing not to take illegal drugs or smoke, actions that aim to promote good physical, mental, emotional and sexual health.
Being Healthy
This outcome is primarily about keeping learners safe from harm, both physically and emotionally. Child protection issues play a large part in this outcome and providers should consider risks at the training centre and at any work place that a learner may access. For younger learners (14-16) issues around the length of working day and travel arrangements might also need to be considered.
Staying Safe
This outcome relates to learner enjoyment and success. Much of the evidence will come from learner views about their training programme. It can also be assessed through attendance patterns and the rate of progress that learners make. How learners are supported, both with learning and personal development will impact on this outcome.
Enjoying and achieving
This outcome is linked to improving self-confidence in learners to enable them to participate in their local communities. It is about learners developing positive behaviour and choosing not to bully or discriminate. It is also linked to learners knowing and understanding their rights and responsibilities.
Making a positive contribution
This outcome relates to how well learners are prepared for the working environment and independent living. The development of skills for work and life is key, including learners’ ability to manage their own finances. The availability of careers advice and guidance and opportunities for work experience and progression routes into employment also play a significant part in ensuring that this outcome is met.
Achieving Economic Well-being
Identified on lesson plans Review recordings Policy and procedures Units Tutorials
How do we evidence the outcomes?
•Health promotion campaigns•Information regarding advice and guidance services•Anti drug, alcohol and smoking policies•Regular breaks and access to drinking water•Staff training on issues such as mental health awareness•Links with other agencies•health related topics covered during induction or as part of the programme
Examples of evidence - Being Healthy
Evidence of health and safety checks Health and safety checks on work placements Inclusion of health and safety training for learners during induction Staff training – formal leading to qualifications, informal such as
awareness raising Range of policies and procedures CRB checks anti bullying, codes of
conduct and behaviour policies and disciplinary procedures Information available regarding support agencies e.g. Victim Support Clear security procedures Links with relevant agencies such as social services, advocacy services,
police
Examples of evidence - Staying safe
Learner satisfaction surveys focus groups Evidence of enrichment Support for learners who have poor attendance and
punctuality. Evidence of learner support Referrals to other appropriate agencies, such as
dyslexia support Good achievement Progression Outcomes from lesson observations that demonstrate
that learners are engaged and actively participate Celebrations of success
Examples of evidence – Enjoying and achieving
Team building and group exercises Community and voluntary activities Learner understanding of equality and
diversity issues Complaints and appeals procedures – with
evidence of how they have been used Anti bullying and anti discriminatory policies
with evidence of staff and learner understanding.
Student mentoring schemes
Examples of evidence – making a positive contribution
Examples of evidence – Economic Well being
Careers advice and guidanceNo. of learners who progressWork placement opportunities for unemployed traineesIntegration of Skills for Life within trainingDevelopment of wider key skillsProgression into employment
