The DDSL will work closely with the Designated Safeguarding Lead, Progress Leaders, and Pastoral Managers to ensure the effective implementation of safeguarding policies and procedures. The role will involve managing safeguarding records, completing referrals to external agencies, and ensuring timely follow-up on all safeguarding concerns. The successful candidate will also play a key role in maintaining accurate records and assisting with audits to ensure compliance with statutory safeguarding responsibilities.
Responsibilities:
Support the safeguarding team in delivering training, promoting a culture of vigilance, and addressing student welfare concerns. Liaise with external agencies such as social services, CAMHS, and early help teams to coordinate support for students and families. Assist with day-to-day administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of safeguarding and pastoral systems, including supporting our Designated Teacher for Looked After Children. You should also be flexible and willing to cover other pastoral or administrative roles when needed, ensuring the school maintains high standards of care and support for all students. A comprehensive induction and training programme will be provided, alongside ongoing professional development opportunities to enable the successful candidate to thrive in this key safeguarding role. Informal visits to the school are warmly welcomed.
