SafeguardED Newsletter

Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the SafeguardED newsletter. In this issue, you will discover the range of LGfL resources that can help support you with establishing a Whole School Approach to Online Safeguarding.

Filtering Support for DSLs

Isn't web filtering only a concern for the IT Team?

According to KCSIE, it is the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and not the IT Team that holds the lead responsibility for online safety, including overseeing filtering and monitoring. Technical colleagues are instrumental, but a safeguarding approach is vital to help protect pupils from harm.

Please watch our updated 45-minute self-service training to help understand the DSL's key role in helping to keep your school compliant and your pupils safe.
