Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable pupils and students is more challenging than ever. This masterclass is designed to equip key safeguarding staff with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate the complexities of protecting our most at risk young people. In an ever changing landscape, where safeguarding concerns are becoming increasingly complex, this session will explore the key vulnerabilities affecting students today and the practical changes that can lead to earlier identification and intervention. We will examine critical areas of concern, statutory safeguarding requirements, key statistics and the risk factors that place students at heightened risk. Additionally, we will review best practices for providing effective support, ensuring that every young person receives the protection and care they need.
