DSL Refresher Training Autumn 26

A Strategic Deep Dive for Experienced Leads

• KCSiE & Beyond: A comprehensive briefing on the newest statutory updates and their direct implications for your school and local safeguarding arrangements.
• The Evolving Safeguarding Culture: Moving from compliance to “active vigilance.” We provide the tools to evaluate and strengthen the safeguarding culture across your entire staff team.
• Contextual Safeguarding Mastery: A deep dive into the risks children face outside the family home, including peer-on-peer abuse, exploitation, and community-based threats.
• Learning from Reality: We examine key findings from recent National and Local Safeguarding Practice Reviews, identifying the “lessons learned” to prevent similar failures in your setting.
• Leadership & Accountability: Practical strategies for leading a safeguarding team, managing workload, and maintaining clear lines of accountability that stand up to inspection.
• Localised Intelligence: Understanding the impact of specific local factors and trends currently affecting children in your area.
• So what?: What do we do with the knowledge and data we gather? How does this impact our staff training, parent workshops, curriculum etc?

Delivered by education safeguarding expert Emma Dallimore (Puzzle Piece Safeguarding), this session will provide:

• An Advanced Practical Toolkit: Every delegate leaves with a suite of resources and tools designed to streamline their daily safeguarding work and improve recording.
• Peer Benchmarking: The opportunity to join a room of experienced professionals to share challenges, debate complex scenarios, and benchmark your school’s procedures against others.
• Expert Accountability: We don’t just tell you what has changed; we show you how to implement it effectively, ensuring you are fully prepared for delivery
