The Role of  DSL - what settings need to know webinar booking now

The consultation on Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 sets out that the Designated Safeguarding Lead should have the appropriate status, authority, skills and experience within the school or college to carry out the duties of the post. It also sets out that any deputies should be trained to the same standard as the Designated Safeguarding Lead.

This session takes attendees through the requirements and explores how we can effectively ensure the Designated Safeguarding Lead role is being enacted to the standard required.

We’ll consider why the Designated Safeguarding Lead role exists, the range of responsibilities the role entails and think about what is means to have lead responsibility for safeguarding and child protection. This session contains insights for anyone with an interest in the vital role of Designated Safeguarding Lead and could also be used as an introduction to our highly popular courses New to Role of DSL and the DSL Support Programme.

Scheduled for June 3rd, 12pm-1pm, all registrants will receive a session recording and slides.
