From January 2024 we’re running safeguarding sessions for the education sector, covering a range of current topics relating to child protection in schools and colleges. These virtual sessions will take place on Zoom for 60–90 minutes at the end of a school day (from 4pm).
These sessions are a chance to hear from the NSPCC’s experts on safeguarding in education. You’ll be kept up to date with the latest safeguarding issues and best practice in the sector.
Anyone who works in an education setting is welcome to attend these sessions – including teachers and headteachers, designated safeguarding leads, governors, trustees and human resources staff. Attendance costs £20 per person, per session. This money will support the NSPCC’s work to keep children safe.
Details of the monthly sessions, as well as booking links, will be released on a termly basis. Keep an eye on this page for upcoming sessions.
