Starting September 2026

A practical safeguarding training course from Safeguarding Fundamentals, delivered through FACTS - Front & Centre Together Safeguarding, SGF's dedicated training and delivery division.

This course is for DSLs, school leaders and safeguarding professionals who want to feel more confident when concerns are raised, conversations are difficult, records matter and decisions may later be scrutinised.

From the first concern to the final record, we will help you build the confidence, language and structure needed to support children, protect staff and evidence defensible safeguarding practice.

Demystifying court: what professionals need to understand about evidence, scrutiny and giving an account of their decision-making.

Learning Outcomes

Respond confidently to safeguarding concerns using a clear, structured and child-centred approach.
Apply professional judgement to complex situations, making decisions that are robust and defensible.
Produce accurate, timely safeguarding records that meet statutory expectations and withstand scrutiny.
Use clear, consistent professional language when managing difficult conversations and multi-agency work.

As a technology partner committed to strengthening safeguarding practice across education and beyond, we recognise the critical importance of equipping professionals with the skills to have difficult conversations, record concerns accurately and feel confident when their decisions face scrutiny.

Good safeguarding relies on people having the right knowledge and the confidence to act on it. FACTS brings together exactly the kind of practical, expert-led training that professionals in this space need.
