Safeguarding Children Policy (P31)
Section 11 of The Children Act 2004 places a duty on people in the organisation to make arrangements to ensure that organisational functions are discharged with regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. The Children Act 1989 and Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 state that ‘The actions we take to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm are everyone’s responsibility’. Children are defined as those having not yet reached their 18th birthday (Children Act 1989). Young people who are vulnerable e.g. Looked After Children (LAC) or children with disabilities are however entitled to services beyond their 18th birthday. The overall aim of the Policy is to make clear the duties, responsibilities and arrangements in place to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in the defined geographical area covered by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust.

Transfers in and the New to Area Assessment Guidelines (G270)
This guidance supports health visiting and admin teams when children transfer into or within Derbyshire. It gives clear guidance on the minimum standard expected of Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (Health Visitors) when undertaking a new to area contact. It outlines the goals and essential components of the new to area contact offered to all families moving into Derbyshire. This document also supports a commitment to ensure evidence-based tools and training are embedded within practice, supporting the national commissioning for outcomes recommendations and offering assurance that the service is focused on personalised and needs-based care. It is expected that Specialist Community Public Health Nurses employed by Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) exercise professional judgement and have clear, documented evidence of the rationale for their decision making if they feel that it is not in the family’s or child’s interest to follow the Best Practice Guidance or policy has not been followed. It is also expected that Specialist Community Public Health Nurses exercise sound professional judgement (following their assessment) in deciding whether or not a client/family should receive additional support and intervention. This Best Practice Guidance should be used in conjunction with other DCHS Children’s and DCHS Trust policies along with The NMC Code.
