Course description

This session is delivered as a centre-based course(on the dates shown below) by Adrian Over or Anne Seal from the WCC Safeguarding Team. These are aimed at Child Protection Governor and Chair only, in primary,

secondary, special schools and Academies. TheSafeguarding team provides separate courses for

school staff.

[In addition, an overview of this topic is available as an in-house course for your full

governing board, delivered by members of the Governor Services tutor team.]

The Governance Handbook makes it clear that there is “a duty on the boards of maintained

schools, and academy trusts, to have arrangements in place to ensure that they:

• carry out their functions with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; and

• have regard to the statutory guidance issued by the Secretary of State in considering what

arrangements they need to make.”

To ensure your governing board complies with the current statutory guidance Keeping

Children Safe in Education issued in September 2016, it is strongly recommended that the

Chair and a named governor with Child Protection and Safeguarding responsibility attends this

important training.

Governors are advised that safeguarding covers child protection and also wider considerations associated with promoting children’s welfare including early help, site security, bullying issues,online safety, curriculum, health and safety,attendance, identifying the risks of child sexualexploitation and preventing radicalisation.
