Safeguarding | DSL Autumn Newsletter

This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Education Safeguarding ProfessionalZarine Power for the attention of all Schools.

Dear Colleagues,

Please find attached the Autumn safeguarding newsletter. I have added the the Slough domestic abuse training offer.

I have also attached some information (see below) sent from Olivia Archer the NSPCC Schools coordinator. We are hoping to have Olivia talk more in depth at the DSL networks about some of the great programmes they can offer schools free of charge.

Best wishes,

Zarine Power, Education Safeguarding Professional
