The Education Safeguarding Service consists of education professionals and qualified Social Work England registered social workers, all of whom have extensive knowledge of safeguarding children - both in children’s social care and in a variety of education or other services.
Appreciating the difficulties faced in frontline social work practice, the team has developed a thorough understanding of legislation and statutory guidance related to child safeguarding practice specific to education services, including safeguarding in early years and in schools.
Staying true to our core social work values, the ethos of those in the education safeguarding service means we will not compromise on children’s safety - placing the welfare of the child centrally in all of our thinking.
