Defensible decision making in safeguarding practice
£99+VAT - Members
£129+VAT - Non Members
The safeguarding of children and young people has become increasingly complex in respect of the children, their families and wider communities.
Decision making about safeguarding is a core thread of practice for DSLs and safeguarding teams.
Working with a wide range of professionals and other stake holders there is a need for an alignment of decisions , plans and review. There is also a need for challenge.
These decisions themselves can be, and are challenged, often from a position of hindsight.
For colleagues who attended the one hour introductory webinar in July, this session will build on those initial principles with a view to clear implementation and use in your provision, safeguarding and whole school approach.
