Advanced Safeguarding Leadership Programme

Deepening insight, strengthening leadership, elevating safeguarding practice
 

This Advanced Safeguarding Leadership Programme is designed to build upon existing safeguarding knowledge and skills, equipping experienced DSLs with the expertise needed to navigate increasingly complex and challenging safeguarding landscapes. It recognises that safeguarding is not static, but rather a dynamic field requiring continuous professional development to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults.

The programme is spread out over the academic year and starts with a face-to-face day, followed by four twilight webinars and a face-to-face day at the end of the programme. Also included are three one-to-one coaching sessions.
