Governance Training

Safeguarding Training

We have not included safeguarding training elsewhere in this offer because we would want all governors and trustees to access their safeguarding training through their local Safeguarding Partnership. This ensures that, in this critical area, there is consistency of message and procedure across the local area.

In Sheffield, the Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership Safeguarding Governors Training is required for all Safeguarding Governors and strongly recommended for the Chair of Governors. It is also useful for other members of the Governing Body. Colleagues in Rotherham should contact RoSIS for details of how to access this training appropriately in Rotherham.

This training is not the same as the ‘whole-school’ Basic Safeguarding Children in Education Training, although governors are welcome to attend this with their school.

**Places are limited to 2 people from any one school over the academic year 2023-24. Additional places booked will be cancelled**

The training will use local and national guidance to discuss:

• Definitions of safeguarding children & young people and the Governing Body Safeguarding Role
• Safeguarding policies and procedures in education settings
• Safer schools, safer recruitment and allegations against staff
• Requirements for staff safeguarding training
• Ofsted Inspections (safeguarding focus)
• The Safeguarding Annual Audit from Head Teachers

Further details about this training and bookings for this training can be found on the Sheffield Safeguarding Partnership website
