| The Department for Education has published the second report from research on decision making processes influencing the life paths of very young children identified as being at risk of significant harm before their first birthdays. This part of the research focuses particularly on the experiences of children aged 3-5 who are entering education, looking at education providers’ perceptions of their role in safeguarding children, and how far decisions made in the early years impact on subsequent life chances. Findings include: by the time they were three, almost three quarters of the children appeared to be adequately safeguarded. |
