Governor Development Programme

The Role of Governors in Safeguarding

Led by Philippa Ollerhead

Overview

This course focuses on what governors and Trust Boards need to know and do to be able to fulfill their safeguarding role.

The training will focus on:

  • The statutory responsibility and expectations of the governor in relation to safeguarding
  • Policies, procedures, principles and practice in all types of schools
  • How to hold leaders to account for safeguarding practice – what questions to ask, ways in which those governing should work with school staff to create a safe school culture and environment
  • The safeguarding report for governors – what do we need to know?

Our Governor Development Programme is a high-quality, evidence informed CPD programme for governors. This FULLY ONLINE programme includes termly, live twilight sessions led by expert facilitators, open for up to 3 of your governors per live session. You will also have access to the recordings of all sessions which can be shared with ALL governors back in school. We have brought together a team of expert facilitators, highly experienced in their fields and also in supporting school and trust governing boards. These sessions have been designed to be both accessible and support Governors to have a positive impact in their role.
