Safeguarding Support
Judith is a nationally renowned safeguarding consultant, having many years supporting schools across the country. We believe that safeguarding children is central to all our work and a key passion of ours. We know how important it is for pupils to feel safe and supported, we also know that abuse happens everywhere. Safeguarding is the one key area that causes headteachers and senior leaders the most stress. We offer a range of support packages to enable you to assure your school is compliant and also to evaluate the effectiveness of your safeguarding processes. We offer training and supervision - giving DSLs the opportunity to discuss and reflect on their work. We also offer bespoke packages of support for maintained schools and trusts – please make contact if you would like to discuss this support and we would be happy to create a package or one off visit to meet your needs.

As a new head, venturing into the world of headship and all that it brings could seem quite daunting. However the schools in my hub had just started working with Lesley and the team and this made all the difference to me. Lesley and the team's principles of working with you, really stand firm. If a problem is raised or you would like to focus on a specific area, either Lesley or someone in the team will have expertise in that area and they will work alongside you, supporting you to achieve the best outcome. I know that the team are always at the end of the phone or email and that no question is a silly question! Over the last academic year, we have been able to offer our staff high quality CPD through Lesley and the team, for teachers, TA's and Governors. This has been invaluable and enhanced the quality of teaching for our children.
