Here to Help
Our safeguarding consultancy services play a key role in empowering schools and colleges to fulfil their safeguarding duties effectively.
Expertise in Safeguarding
We use our wealth of knowledge and experience in safeguarding guidance, policies and procedures to provide schools and colleges with comprehensive guidance on creating and implementing a robust safeguarding framework tailored to their needs and ambitions.
Tailored Safeguarding Solutions
Our safeguarding consultancy services are tailored to your needs and ambitions. Each organisation has its own culture, systems, things to celebrate and things to improve. Our safeguarding partners take the time to understand your specific needs in the present and to plan effectively for the future.
Comprehensive Safeguarding Support
We offer a full range of consultancy support services including:
- Safeguarding audits – We work together to determine the parameters of the audit and we deliver on what you need. This usually involves a full day on site with you plus some desk-based research, with the follow-up support of a safeguarding report with recommendations and post-audit support from us as needed. Clients typically ask us to evaluate leadership and governance, culture, policies and procedures, the management of safeguarding referrals, pupil or student voice, the environment and communications with stakeholders.
- Inspection preparation and follow-up – We support clients to prepare for inspections including Ofsted, SIAMS and the British Council for organisations who play host to international students and support them with the implementation of post-inspection action plans.
- Safeguarding Incident management – When difficult cases happen, we can support you with ensuring that appropriate response, investigatory and reporting procedures are followed. Cases may involve staff or students.
- Safeguarding policy and procedure development – we help you to create comprehensive policies, procedures and guidelines to help you safeguard effectively.
The benefits of the consultancy support we offer:
- Enhanced safeguarding practices which help to better safeguard children and vulnerable adults
- Enhanced pupil/student sense of safety
- Stronger safeguarding culture ensuring you fulfil legal and ethical requirements
- Enhanced reputation and reduced reputational risks
- Peace of mind
