These conferences are for experienced designated safeguarding leads (DSL) in schools and colleges and count as an annual update, as required by Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE).

A range of content is covered with presentations by speakers from both local and national organisations. Key topics are explored, including some of the additional issues identified in Part 1 and Annex A of KCSiE and which affect children in Kent.

The conferences also enable DSLs to access further relevant information and resources to develop and enhance safeguarding practice in their school.

Please note, due to Covid-19, Safeguarding Conferences are currently on hold until 2022.
