Safeguarding Leaders Network

  • A meeting for Designated Safeguarding Leads in education establishments across the borough (primary, secondary and Post 16)

We will explore topical safeguarding issues locally and those emerging from Ofsted inspections nationally and in some key areas look to develop minimum standards in education in response to government policy and guidance. This will also be an opportunity for Designated Safeguarding Leads to discuss local issues of concern and for the Education Safeguarding Officer, if required, to invite partner agencies to attend to talk about the support services they offer. It will also be an opportunity to share good practice across the wider Safeguarding remit.
