School safeguarding adviser
Practical safeguarding advice for school leaders, DSLs, governors and proprietors who need an informed perspective on a difficult issue.
You may have an unresolved pastoral concern, inconsistent practice between teams or a decision that needs careful scrutiny. P.S.A. helps you establish the question, identify missing information and consider proportionate next steps. You can commission a focused piece of advice or discuss an ongoing support arrangement.
Support can include reviewing a chronology, exploring options with the responsible leader, preparing for professional meetings and clarifying who needs to do what next. Where the underlying issue is a process, the brief can include reporting routes, handovers, case oversight and follow-up arrangements.
The agreed output may be a focused advice discussion, written recommendations or an action plan with responsibilities and review points. We confirm the format and scope before work begins, so you know what is included and how you can use it.
