Dedicated Safeguarding Leads Online Support con_12318

Description

The DSL has lead responsibility for safeguarding and protecting all children in their school or college. They also play a critical role in the lives of children who have or have had a social worker, by safeguarding them, and by supporting their wider welfare, including promoting their educational outcomes. To support Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) with the complexities and challenges of their role, the DfE is looking to procure a Contractor to develop a set of online resources to support DSLs. The resources will also need to address how DSLs can promote the educational outcomes of children who have or have had a social worker and the type of additional support children with a social worker need. The toolkit will be hosted on existing DfE content pages on .GOV.UK. It will reflect the information provided in Annex C: Role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead of the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) statutory guidance. The resources are intended to complement rather than replace existing training and support that DSLs already receive. The core objective is to create online resources/ materials specified by users, which should reflect user needs and meet policy objectives, in order to give appropriate support to DSLs.
