In this webinar, Christina Leath, an experienced Head of Safeguarding and subject matter expert, will explore key points from the guidance and discuss what this means for DSLs, teachers and parents and carers.

On 27th March, the DfE released their interim safeguarding guidance for all schools, colleges, maintained nurseries and pupil referral units in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The guidance aims to support and maintain effective safeguarding practice in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE). It states that it is more important than ever that schools and colleges provide a safe environment, including online. This is especially important given that many children are now learning away from school.
