Safeguarding Review - how do you implement and manage Safeguarding within your school?

We can support you to meet statutory requirements by conducting a Safeguarding Review which will inform the school of significant additional risks that need to be addressed. We will make recommendations where appropriate and help the school to maintain and develop a safeguarding culture in accordance with Ofsted requirements and good practice.

How do you:

• Safeguard your children and staff?
• Review your safeguarding policies and processes to manage change improvement?
• Identify training needs and maintain Senior Designated Officers at Group 3?
• Identify and ensure whole-school training is carried out?
• Identify and ensure Group 2 and Safer Recruitment Training is carried out?
