How to Achieve Outstanding Safeguarding – Compliance and Excellence
Safeguarding children and young people seemingly becomes more and more complex as the years pass by and a minefield when it comes to Ofsted inspection. Effective safeguarding relies on clear and easily understandable systems and procedures, consistently applied by all, and rigorously monitored by SLT. Your school’s culture is central to success because it forms the safe environment for children to develop and thrive and is essential to successful implementation of policy and procedures and excelling during inspection.
