MMD-PROC-053 - Community Health Sevices Safeguarding Supervision Procedure
Safeguarding supervision provides specialist professional advice, oversight of the management of the child and family’s needs, and support to health practitioners within Community Health Services with their duty to safeguard children. It also supports health practitioners to utilise evidence based practice and adhere to Trust, Local Safeguarding Children’s Board and Government policies and procedures relating to safeguarding practice (Skills for Care and CWDC, 2007). Safeguarding children supervision is separate from, but complimentary to other forms of managerial and clinical supervision. This procedure applies to all Child Health professionals working within Mid Mersey Division community health services.

There have been repeated instances when information sharing could have prevented a child being seriously harmed. When Serious Case Reviews have taken place it has been established that information about historical safeguarding concerns with regard to other children related to adults living with the child, had not been shared between agencies. A recurrent theme within the analysis of Serious Case Reviews is that it is vital for practitioners to share information to safeguard and protect children (Brandon et al, 2009)It is essential that Child Health Records of newborn children must include full details of all siblings, step siblings and other children up to the age of 18 and any adult who may live in the family home of the newborn.
