We offer face to face training in schools and other venues, as this seems to be more successful in encouraging interaction and discussion. However, we also offer the same training remotely, using Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
Advanced Training (Previously called Level 2/3): Managing Safeguarding: The Role of the Designated Lead and Multi Agency Working (as a statutory renewal of advanced training for headteachers, designated leads for safeguarding and other senior managerial staff).
It is a statutory requirement for every school, service or organisation to have a Designated Senior Lead who manages safeguarding and a second member of staff to deputise for him or her. In primary schools this is often the Headteacher, a Deputy Head, SENCO or other senior member of staff. In secondary schools or other organisations there may be several senior staff, in addition to the Headteacher, who bear responsibility for managing safeguarding.
Working Together to Safeguard Children and Keeping Children Safe in Education establish a requirement for Designated Senior Staff (designated leads) and Headteachers to undertake "Advanced Training" every two years. This training should "provide them with the knowledge and skills required to carry out the role as designated safeguarding lead" in school and in multi-agency working.
In response we have developed this full day course in order to meet all statutory requirements for those returning to us for two yearly renewal of their Designated Lead/Headteacher or other senior staff training. We explore the role of the DSL, the manager's responsibilities when managing situations and the roles and responsibilities of other agencies engaged in the process of safeguarding children.
The course is over one full day (9.00am-4.30pm) and is available for delivery in your school for a number of staff, or centrally for individuals at venues throughout the UK.
It is recommended that at least two staff within your school or organisation have undertaken this training to ensure someone is always available to meet this managerial responsibility. However, increasingly we are asked to deliver the training in school or another organisation to a number of senior staff.
The objectives of the course:
"The designated safeguarding lead and any deputies should undergo training to provide them with the knowledge and skills required to carry out the role."
