How confident do you feel speaking to parents about safeguarding concerns?
Do you struggle to know what to say and how best to say it?
LGfL schools are warmly invited to send their DSLs to join this exclusive new in-person (at our Liverpool Street HQ) training course, exploring successful engagement with parents.
LGfL schools are invited to join a new DSL forum to explore specific safeguarding practice and challenges for SEND pupils. Register below by 30th Sept.
If you've already had an inspection this month, we would love to hear from you! We are collating feedback to share with safeguarding colleagues. Hit reply or fill in your details here.

"Data protection law allows you to share information when required to identify children at risk of harm and to safeguard them from harm. Data protection law doesn’t prevent you from doing this. It simply helps you to share information in a fair, proportionate and lawful way. It can be more harmful not to share information that is needed to protect a child or young person."
This guide gives tips about how schools should share information about safeguarding concerns.
In addition there has been a recent consultation about revisions to the government's 'Information Sharing Advice for Safeguarding Practitioners.' To find out about this, have a look at our summary here.
