Governing bodies are required to ensure that schools work to safeguard pupils and promote their welfare. They need to consider child protection procedures alongside strategies to reduce the risk of harm. This session examines:

  • The principles of safeguarding children and young people (and 18+ learners)
  • The legal responsibilities of governors
  • The DfE  expectations of governing bodies
  • Which pupils are at greatest risk and why 
  • Risk outside of the home - including online safety  and contextual risks
  • Safe professional practice
  • How will you know that it's happening?

Target audience: Governors who have undertaken no previous safeguarding or child protection training
