Professional curiosity is a key part of safeguarding which involves exploring a person’s life and situation by asking questions, listening, and looking. It’s about trying to understand what’s happening for a person, rather than making assumptions or accepting things at face value. We can demonstrate professional curiosity about a child’s life by maintaining an attitude of respectful uncertainty and applying a critical eye to the information given by a child’s parents or carers rather than just accepting things at face value.
This staff meeting starter encourages staff to consider to what extent they are professionally curious about a child’s life.
