title: Preparing leaders for safeguarding children.
abstract: The purpose of child safeguarding is to identify children at risk of abuse or neglect and to reduce this risk. NHS trusts are required to have named and designated safeguarding children clinicians, who need strong leadership skills. This article presents the design and implementation of a leadership training programme developed for these professionals, and an evaluative research study of the programme.
