Safeguarding
A session outlining a back-to-basics approach to safeguarding within the context of an increasingly complex landscape.
About the session
Why is the term “safeguarding” causing so much confusion within higher education nowadays? When should it be used for cases of sexual violence and other types of misconduct? Are you seeing an increase in safeguarding cases as the number of students with neurodivergent diagnoses rises? Given the multiple reporting systems that appear to cover safeguarding-related concerns, how can Institutions navigate this increasingly complex landscape?
