Child protection
The child protection scheme takes measures to safeguard vulnerable children and young people at risk or suffering from physical, emotional or sexual abuse. This involves investigating reports of suspected abuse and where appropriate applying for a Child Assessment Order, Care Order, Supervision Order or Emergency Protection Order.
Child protection orders
The social services department can apply for an emergency protection order of eight to 15 days to safeguard a child who may be in danger living at home.
All children have a right to be well looked after and protected from harm. The Children and Young People's Service investigate all cases when people are worried that a child may be at risk of being harmed or is not being looked after properly.
