The Safeguarding and Child Protection Model Policy (July 2024)

The Safeguarding and Child Protection model policy (July 2024) and the Level 2 Basic PowerPoint (September 2024) are now on the website, Safeguarding policies, guidance and training – Support for schools and settings (devon.gov.uk).

The policy has numerous sections where schools/settings and Trusts will need to include their individual information, links or reference points. While this policy is correct, including embedded links, at point of publication, schools are being asked to ensure that as national or local changes occur, the policy is updated. The Safeguarding Team will of course keep schools informed throughout the next school year through half-termly newsletters of changes or amendments they are aware of.

The Level 2 PowerPoint training includes the basic safeguarding information that needs to be shared with staff, governors and volunteers.
