This 12-hour course seeks to grow the confidence of Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and their deputies, and to enable them to build on their Local Safeguarding Partnership initial DSL training. Participants will learn more about the knowledge and skills required and further explore the challenges of the role. Designed by experienced senior managers, the course seeks to address compliance with statutory guidance and to initiate the sharing of good practice and ideas on how to create an effective whole school/college safeguarding culture. It is also a good opportunity to create a rapport with a peer network of DSLs.
