Overview

​

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead training has been designed from a very practical point of view of someone who is still working in the field and is enriched by Deborah’s years of experience working with children and their families.   

The training is delivered through an interactive presentation with an accompanying audio commentary and additional supporting materials including an Ofsted preparation self assessment tool to help make sure that your safeguarding culture is inspection ready.  As you work through the units, you will learn more about professional dangerousness, respectful challenge and the expectations of Ofsted.   

Each session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes and should be completed one session at a time before moving onto the next one.
