The primary goal of safeguarding in education is to protect children and young people from harm, abuse, and neglect while ensuring their health, well-being, and development in a safe and supportive environment. It involves creating safe learning environments, identifying and responding to risks, educating children about safety, and supporting vulnerable students to help them thrive academically and personally. Schools play a crucial role by implementing policies, procedures, and training to maintain these protective measures and promote children's welfare so they can grow and learn without fear of harm or abuse.
