Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel | Your hub for practical safeguarding learning The Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel commissions national reviews of serious child safeguarding cases in England to improve learning and protect vulnerable children.

The National Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel has shared some very helpful resources about child neglect on their newly launched website hub. There is a downloadable poster to help practitioners with a quick reference guide. Visit the hub to find more resources on child neglect: https://lnkd.in/e53gCATQ

The London Safeguarding Children Partnership has published updated Safeguarding Children Procedures and Practice Guidance, reflecting legislative changes, learning from reviews, and current best practice across London.

All practitioners and partner agencies working with children and families in Croydon should familiarise themselves with the revised procedures and ensure they are embedded in day to day practice. The updated guidance provides clearer expectations around thresholds, roles and responsibilities, and effective multi agency working.

The full procedures and practice guidance are available on the London Safeguarding Children Procedures website and should be shared widely within teams.

To support parents, we have created the attached “Growing Up with Phones and Taking Photos.”

As children go through normal development, they become more aware of their bodies. Some may take photos of themselves on their phones, often for private viewing. With personal devices in bedrooms and activity out of sight, this can happen without awareness or discussion.

Many do not realise that if backup is switched on and the phone is connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data, photos can be automatically stored online. This means images can leave the phone without being shared and remain accessible through the account.

If someone gains access to that account, they may be able to view and download these images. In some cases, this can lead to misuse, including coercion, cyberbullying, blackmail, or grooming.

This is a sensitive issue that needs to be discussed openly between parents and their children.

Please print and share the attached PDF flyer and use the PNG version for digital sharing across your networks and social media channels to help raise awareness and support safer behaviours.

The aim is to ensure families understand the risk and take steps to keep children safe online.

Listen up!!! 🗣️📣

This is a must listen interview re ‘what do leaders get wrong?’

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUBSCY0EQYg/?igsh=MTh2ZXc5cGdnZzI5aw==

Being a leader isn’t about being in charge. Simon Sinek breaks down the difference between authority and leadership: one is given by title, the other is earned through trust and responsibility. Leadership isn’t about being in charge — it’s about taking care of the people in your charge, helping them rise, and showing up for them consistently. When leaders lead with service, loyalty and trust follow naturally. You’ll take away: 🧭 Leadership is service 🧠 Trust beats control 🤝 Safety drives loyalty Comment SIMON and we’ll send you the full episode. Watch now on @youtube , @applepodcasts , and wherever you get your podcasts  🎙️✨

Happy summer term wishes to all you safeguarders 🥳😎

Outdoor learning: critical incident planning for the summer term (OEAP)
With the summer term typically bringing an increase in off-site visits and outdoor learning activities, now is the time for schools to ensure their planning is in order, including critical incident procedures.

The Outdoor Education Advisers' Panel (OEAP) publishes National Guidance that is recognised by the Government and referenced in the DfE's Health and Safety on Educational Visits guidance and the HSE's School Trips guidance.

Their model critical incident plan for employers is worth downloading and reviewing before the summer term gets underway. The guidance reminds us that emergency contact arrangements must work around the clock, including overnight, weekends, and holiday periods,for any time a visit might be taking place.

Second, the plan explicitly reminds those receiving an emergency call to stay calm, take charge as Incident Controller, and record everything, a simple sequence that is easy to overlook without prior preparation.

There is separate OEAP guidance for the first contact guidance document. This is a prompt sheet designed to be printed and kept near phones so that any member of staff who takes an emergency call knows exactly what questions to ask and in what order.

Both documents are available at:
