Governing bodies and proprietors should ensure the designated safeguarding lead has the appropriate status and authority within the school or college to carry out the duties of the post. The role carries a significant level of responsibility and the postholder should be given the additional time, funding, training, resources, and support needed to carry out the role effectively
Thanks for your interest...
Our materials on resourcing the designated safeguarding lead role are only available to enhanced members.
While our Essentials Membership package supports DSLs in their work for staff enhanced Membership provides support for the DSL and deputies themselves. Keeping Children Safe in Education, Working Together and the inspection framework place significant responsibility on this key role in the organisation. Working alongside DSLs we've designed a package of support that helps structure your approach to be compliant, to reduce some of the pressure on this key role and, most importantly, to improve your safeguarding approach for your students. Should you choose (and for an additional fee) we can provide personalised support through an experienced Safeguarding Partner to meet with you every term and explore safeguarding issues in your setting.
