Governor Plan

Gain the confidence you need to take responsibility for safeguarding.

"Governing bodies and proprietors should ensure that all governors and trustees receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection (including online) training at induction.” 

Keeping Children Safe in Education

Senior board level teams need support to lead your organisation’s safeguarding arrangements.

"The Governor materials have very useful examples of questions for our DSLs, as well as some thoughts to consider for us all when completing learning walks and talking to children, young people and staff.
