Did you know? Last September, DfE guidance was updated to clarify the level of recording required for safeguarding concerns. The Education and Training (Welfare of Children) Act 2021 extended safeguarding provisions to post-16 providers.
It can be challenging for schools to be able to monitor children’s behaviour and safeguard them without a dedicated system in place.

Information sharing is vital in identifying and tackling all forms of abuse and neglect, and in promoting children’s welfare, including their educational outcomes.
