Reviews, advice and training
I have developed my expertise in safeguarding over many years in various roles, as a teacher, designated safeguarding lead, HMI, Ofsted Inspector and consultant.
I keep my knowledge of all aspects safeguarding current through update training and research, alongside extensive experience of inspection and review work in over 400 schools.
Reviews, training and advice cover the aspects of safeguarding:
- Recruitment
- child protection arrangements
- staff training
- online safety
- the ‘stay safe’ curriculum
- personal development
- behaviour
- child-on-child abuse
- attendance
- managing allegations against staff
- health and safety of school premises, including first aid and management of pupils with medical conditions
For each review I provide an outline plan of activities and document list to aid the school in planning a programme. The reviews entail a day to prepare which includes some remote meetings one day on site, and a detailed report, with clary identified actors for improvement.
