Abstract

Morgan & Spargo (2017) identify that traditionally nurses and other professionals including medical, social work and education, feel underprepared by their undergraduate education to work in the field of safeguarding children. Furthermore, Paavilainen, Åstedt-Kurki, Paunonen-Ilmonen, & Laippala, (2002), Paavilainen & Tarkka, (2003), Bennett, Plint, & Clifford (2005), Pabia›, Wroska, Åšlusarska, & Cuber (2010) also report particularly for children's nurses that they have limited exposure to safeguarding during their pre-registration education. Morgan & Spargo (2017) further identify that this maybe as a result of qualified practitioner reluctance to allow those students to participate in safeguarding children practice because of what is termed a pervasive notion of protection. In that they wish to protect the student from the rigours of safeguarding work given the emotional context in which this takes place.
