Staying Safe was a major consultation which provided the opportunity for the government to consult with parents, children, young people, our partners and the children's workforce on children's safety.

The Staying Safe aims are to:
Raise awareness of the importance of safeguarding children and young people

Promote better understanding of safeguarding issues, encouraging a change in behaviour towards children and young people, and their safety and welfare

Ensure work in this area is coherent, and effectively coordinated across government, by outlining existing work in this area
Reinforce existing activity by proposing new actions to plug gaps and improve linkages

The consultation, which closed on 31 October, included a range of activities for practitioners; parents; children and young people, and the general public to give their views.
