Children Act 1989 Overview

Thank you for providing the context, I'd be happy to help you with your query. It seems like you're interested in the Children Act * in England. Could you please tell me what specific issue or concern you have regarding the Act? For instance, are you a parent looking for guidance on child custody or access, or perhaps you're a professional working with children and need clarification on your responsibilities under the Act?

The Children Act * is a comprehensive piece of legislation that protects the rights and welfare of children in England. One of its primary objectives is to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of children.
Could you please tell me what specific aspect of child protection you'd like to know more about, such as child abuse, neglect, or adoption?

I'd be happy to help you with that. The Children Act * does not directly mention "Safeguarding vulnerable groups act". However, the UK's safeguarding framework for children and vulnerable adults is outlined in the Care Act * and the Children and Social Work Act *.
These acts aim to ensure that children and vulnerable adults are protected from harm, abuse, and neglect. The framework sets out the responsibilities of various professionals, including social workers, healthcare professionals, and educators, to identify and respond to concerns about a child's safety and well-being.
In England, the safeguarding framework is also informed by the Working Together to Safeguard Children guidance, which provides a clear set of procedures for professionals to follow when dealing with safeguarding concerns.
Could you please clarify what specific aspect of child protection and safeguarding you'd like to know more about, such as reporting concerns, support services, or legal proceedings?
