Facilitated by our experienced safeguarding consultants, these half-termly sessions will support you as Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and deputies in looking at how to use your existing safeguarding knowledge to build or further enhance your setting's safeguarding culture. You will be able to network with DSLs and deputies from a range of settings all over the country and beyond to explore the challenges of the role and share good practice. We will look at areas such as: how to effect positive change whilst taking your staff group with you, underlying issues that may be present for staff (e.g. bias that may come into their decision making) and barriers for children and young people. We will highlight topical safeguarding & child protection matters and explore potential impacts of changes in legislation, procedures and practice.
