Reg Pengelly has gained considerable experience of managing arrangements to safeguard children in both the police service and the NHS. This short and practical guide has been written for the benefit of all managers who are either directly responsible for safeguarding children or whose organisations provide services that children use. The book will be especially useful to managers working for the growing number of private sector providers who may be commissioned by public organisations and who by dint of their contractual obligations are under a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
