This webinar will provide governors, senior leaders and staff who work in out of school settings (OOSS) with an understanding of their statutory safeguarding responsibilities and practical advice on implementing recommended best practice in line with DfE guidance.

All OOSS providers have a duty of care toward the children who attend their setting. This means that, by law, they must take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of the children and to protect them from harm, including compliance with health and safety law, statutory safeguarding policies and governance requirements.

In this webinar, Thomas Stead, designated safeguarding lead and advanced skills teacher with over 10 years’ safeguarding experience, will discuss what OOSS legal duties are, review core pieces of DfE guidance and explain how settings can develop and employ best practice measures to keep children safe from harm.
