Event Summary

With changes to statutory guidance on Keeping Children Safe in Education published last year, and a gradual increase in safeguarding referrals from schools to children services, effectively responding to safeguarding concerns is a priority for all schools and colleges. 

Join Westminster Insight’s Safeguarding Children in Schools Conference for expert guidance to help you foster a culture of safeguarding in your school or college to keep children safe from all forms of harm and abuse.
