About this Event
"It is leaders who create the operating context in which child protection decisions are taken. At a strategic level, leaders need to ensure: clarity of vision, responsibilities and resources; robust governance; and a culture of learning, improvement and challenge. When there are conflicting agency priorities, capacity issues, and a lack of shared vison and values, effective multi-disciplinary and multiagency working becomes very much dependent on individual will and relationships. Children cannot rely on that alone. ”

As a strategic leader in education, this course will help you ensure you are equipped to provide accountability, support and challenge to your senior leadership team and meet the 62 explicit statutory responsibilities on you within Keeping Children Safe in Education.
Keeping Children Safe in Education also states that "Governing bodies and proprietors should ensure that all governors and trustees receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection (including online) training at induction. This training should equip them with the knowledge to provide strategic challenge to test and assure themselves that the safeguarding policies and procedures in place in schools and colleges are effective and support the delivery of a robust whole school approach to safeguarding. Their training should be updated regularly" (paragraph 79).
Our Strategic Safeguarding Leadership in Education course looks at why these requirements are in place, and how to discharge them, providing governors with the tools to assess the effectiveness of their roles.
