Charlotte, Charlie and Millie interview the incredible Heidi.

Heidi is a Child Protection Social Worker for the council.

Heidi discusses her interpretation of safeguarding as well as her belief that multi-partner agencies should be fully empowered to make the correct decisions.

Heidi talks about the different levels of safeguarding and how Nannies can deem what is serious enough for her to be contacted. Some cases do not need to be escalated to her, the family could be supported by another agency - a school or nursery for instance.

Heidi offers advice to Nannies who may come across safeguarding issues, how to handle them and who to speak too.

Heidi and the ladies debate whether safeguarding training should be mandatory for all Nannies.

If you, or anyone you know, has any safeguarding issues please do not hesitate to contact us for help and support. We can point you in the right direction.
