This webinar will provide headteachers, school leaders, governors, DSLs and DDSLs with an expert’s overview and insights into the findings of the inquiry into child sexual abuse – highlighting the panel’s key findings and suggestions for change, and what they will mean for schools. 

On 20 October, the Home Office published the final report of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). Some seven years in production, the inquiry has been investigating whether public bodies – and other non-state institutions have fulfilled their duty of care. The publication of the report itself will clearly have a significant impact on schools, while its conclusions will exert an even greater influence if they are subsequently approved by government and become law. 

In this webinar, Christina Leath – an experienced subject matter expert on safeguarding – offers practical guidance on what schools can do immediately to ensure that their safeguarding provision aligns with the best-practice observations made throughout the report.
