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 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 our Safeguarding Conferences are currently on hold. We hope to resume them again in 2022-23, as either virtual or face to face events, subject to feedback from DSLs.
