Education Settings - Governor Safeguarding Training 2023-24

This training is required for the identified trustee or member of a governing body (or equivalent) with responsibility for safeguarding and is also useful for Head Teachers.  It is not the same as the 'whole-school' Basic Safeguarding Children in Education Training, although Governors are welcome to attend this within their school.

For further guidance around Governing body and trustee safeguarding induction please read Governing Body Safeguarding discussion guidance 2023

The training incorporates local and national guidance to discuss:

• Definitions of safeguarding and the safeguarding role of Governing Bodies in education settings
• Safeguarding policies and procedures in education settings
• Safer schools, safer recruitment and allegations against staff
• Requirements for staff safeguarding training
• Ofsted Inspections (safeguarding focus)
• The Safeguarding Annual Audit from Head Teachers

The course is free for maintained schools and academies.  There is a charge for 'free' and independent school staff attending.

To contact us about training telephone 0114 2734530 or email safeguardingchildrentraining@sheffield.gov.uk

You must register or login to check availability on all course dates.

**Places are limited to 2 people from any one school over the academic year 2023-24.  Additional places booked will be cancelled**
