Congratulations on reaching the end of Unit 4!

You began by revisiting the safeguarding cycle and thinking about the importance of having effective reporting mechanisms. You considered the barriers that can prevent different kinds of people from reporting safeguarding concerns and what your organisation could do to overcome them.

You then reflected on reporting procedures within your own organisation and learnt about your responsibilities to complainants with an emphasis on the importance of confidentiality.

You studied some case studies, identifying what can happen when reporting procedures are ineffective, before designing and reflecting on what a reporting procedure should look like.

Reflect and respond in your learning journal:

  • What did you find interesting about this unit?
  • Has anything about this unit encouraged you to think differently about your own professional practice or the way things might be done differently in your own organisation?
  • Is there anything you would like to know more about?

In the next unit, you will be learning about organisational responses to safeguarding. To help you prepare consider the following questions: What are appropriate responses when concerns are reported, and what do those next steps look like?

Now go to Unit 5: Response.
