What does Keep Them Safe mean for parents and how can their anxieties be allayed?
Keep Them Safe recognises the primary responsibility of parents for the wellbeing of their child(ren). The aim of Keep Them Safe is to provide the necessary support to parents and prevent families becoming part of the statutory child protection system. While the new legislation provides for greater exchange of information between government agencies and non-government organisations (NGOs), organisations providing a service to a child, young person or their parents would normally inform them if information is being provided to other organisations.
