The impact for me was exploring effective use of toolkits, a safeguarding culture in an Ofsted inspection including child on child abuse and what schools should have within robust record keeping to include outcomes.

This was an excellent and engaging session with plenty of time for discussion and debate. Nicole was incredibly knowledgeable and covered a massive amount in this day course. I am confident that my Senior Leadership Team benefited from this training and gained greater knowledge and skills because of it.
