Course description

 These sessions are delivered as centre-based courses (on the dates shown below) by Adrian Over or Anne Seal from the WCC Safeguarding Team and are aimed at Child Protection Governors and Chairs only, in primary, secondary, special schools and Academies. The Safeguarding team provides separate courses for school staff. 

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 sexual exploitation and preventing radicalisation.
