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.
