Supervision Support Available for Designated Safeguarding Leads

New service offers confidential support for safeguarding leaders

Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) in Bradford schools will have access to a new supervision service starting in September. The initiative aims to provide a confidential and reflective space for DSLs to discuss the challenges they face in their safeguarding roles.

Support for a demanding role

Safeguarding leadership is often complex and demanding, with DSLs carrying significant responsibility to ensure the safety and welfare of children. The new supervision service recognises that the role can sometimes be isolating and offers a structured opportunity for DSLs to gain clarity and confidence in their work.

Service details

• The supervision sessions are designed specifically for DSLs working within Bradford schools.
• They provide a confidential environment to reflect on safeguarding leadership challenges.
• The aim is to support DSLs in managing their responsibilities effectively.
• Bookings for the service are open for the upcoming September term.

Schools and safeguarding leads interested in accessing the supervision support are encouraged to book their sessions ahead of the new term. This service forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen safeguarding practices and support school staff in their critical roles.

For more information or to book a session, DSLs can visit the Bradford Schools Online website.
