ABOUT OUR TRAINING COURSES
“Due to the nature of the materials the course was very intense, however the presenters were very knowledgeable and took their time to fully explain and answer questions thoroughly.
The course materials were very detailed and concise and I am sure will be invaluable as I start this journey into an area that is completely alien. It was great to go over specific examples and talk through the best way to approach the concerns.”
Nazreen Malik – Hodge Hill Girls’ School – Birmingham Assistant Head

FAQS
SAFEGUARDING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
As a DSL, what are my responsibilities?
As a Designated Safeguarding Lead, you are responsible for ensuring that safeguarding policies and procedures within your school are followed.
The lead DSL must be a senior member of the leadership team, with key responsibilities including:
Managing Policies, Processes and Procedures
Creating and regularly updating a comprehensive Safeguarding and Child Protection policy is key in education settings.
Staff Training
Your safeguarding provision will only ever be as strong as your weakest link, therefore it is essential that all staff receive regular and high-quality training, no matter their role with your setting.
Managing Partnerships
Collaboration is an essential part of safeguarding - not only with your team and your setting, but with parents, the community and external agencies as well.
Conducting Regular Reviews
By regularly reviewing your safeguarding procedures and processes, you can develop, strengthen and improve what you have to offer.
Why is Safeguarding so important in schools?
Safeguarding is unequivocally one of the most important aspects of ensuring the safety of those within your setting - whether that be children, adults, or vulnerable adults.
Robust safeguarding policies and procedures not only protect students within your setting, but provide colleagues with a clear and coherent understanding as to what is expected of them when it comes to safeguarding.
Ensuring your school is compliant with the latest guidance regarding Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) is extremely important and should be monitored closely by your setting’s DSL.
How often do staff need to do the full training and the refresher?
KCSIE 2024 says all staff should receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection training which is regularly updated … at least annually.
In addition, all staff should receive safeguarding and child protection updates (via staff meetings, e-bulletins).
For DSLs and deputy DSLs (who need to be trained to the same standard) they need to have training that equips them with the knowledge and skills to carry out the role. The training needs to be updated at least every 2 years.
Where can I keep up to date with the latest safeguarding news and advice?
The world of safeguarding is fast-changing, and guidance is frequently updated to ensure the continued safety of those within your setting.
Packed full of actionable advice, our Safeguarding Newsletter will help keep you up to date with the latest legislation and guidance, featuring the following:
✔️ One completely free resource or blog which will support you with safeguarding at your school.
