Support for Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and School Safeguarding Teams

The Medway Education Safeguarding team have created the ‘Education Safeguarding Information’ Channel; a central place for Medway DSLs and school safeguarding teams to access information, resources and support.  The channel provides links to current local and national guidance, and the latest safeguarding updates and training opportunities from Medway Children's Services, LADO, MASH and Education Safeguarding & Quality Assurance.

If you are a Medway school or setting and would like access to the Education Safeguarding Information Channel, please ask your Designated Safeguarding Lead to contact dslcontactinfo@medway.gov.uk and request access.
