KCSIE states that “The designated safeguarding lead should take lead responsibility for safeguarding and child protection” and that “the role of the designated safeguarding lead carries a significant level of responsibility”.
This ‘New to the Role of DSL’ programme seeks to support newly appointed Designated Safeguarding Leads and Deputies so that they are confident in taking on this important responsibility. The programme incorporates one and a half day training to underpin knowledge and skills, followed up by a further half day workshop which focuses on a review of practice and knowledge and opportunity for reflection, feeding into the reflective lessons learned thread of a safeguarding culture.
