Description

1 in 10 pupils have been registered as a child in need at some point in the last six years. With 18.2% of referrals to social care originating from schools, the role of designated safeguarding lead has never been more important or more pressurised.

DSLs have a huge responsibility for ensuring staff remain up to date with training and systems are rigorous and time effective. A lack of resources, pressure on local services and over 40 areas of safeguarding now covered in KCSIE mean rigorous, time-effective management has never been more important.

This highly practical conference will provide the opportunity to discuss peer-on-peer abuse case studies and Early Help Assessment decision-making with legal and DSL experts. Delegates will gain strategies for getting the most out of Team Around the Child and Family meetings and leave equipped to confidently evidence staff training and record-keeping.

Often an isolated and emotionally challenging role, this conference will offer DSLs opportunities to build networks of support and equip them for the unpredictable and varied nature of safeguarding.

Delegates may expect in-depth keynotes with leading experts and a choice of workshops including:
• best practice in record keeping and training and how to evidence this for inspection
• get the most out of multi-agency working and know how to challenge poor decisions
• how to tackle and safeguard students getting caught up in county lines and other drug related violence
• understand your legal requirements and evaluate practical decision making through school-based peer-on-peer abuse case studies
• how to raise concerns and manage team around the child and family meetings
• safeguarding vulnerable children including SEN and looked after children.
