    #UKEdChat Q2 Do you think that safeguarding training equips teachers adequately to identify and manage issues if they were to arise? ▶Please use the hashtag & A2◀
  • ebd35 Jan 3 @ 3:10 PM EST
    #UKEdChat Think it does in my setting....safeguarding HIGH HIGH profile as SEMH school with high amount of safeguarding concerns.....DAILY! Think the most important training is to a) recognise concerns and b) awareness of who to report to

    Just finished The Explorer by #katherinerundell. Loads of ideas for this term, judging by my liberal use of sticky labels! Anyone else done this text in y4/5? #UkEdChat #PrimaryRocks

  • teacherchalky1 Jan 3 @ 3:20 PM EST
    Safeguardings everyone's responsibility day to day with anything relating to behaviour management but anything more than that I think it needs passing on as they may well have a bigger picture of whats going on #ukedchat

    #UKEdChat Q4 Do you think that safeguarding is a high enough priority in schools? What more needs to be done? ▶Please use the hashtag & A4◀
  • stokoeview Jan 3 @ 3:24 PM EST
    A2 - Identification of & managing issues requires a whole school system with everybody working together. The training supports this. #ukedchat

    Q4 #UKEdChat Give school staff enough time to notice when a child behaves differently. Too often it's rush from one lesson to another & then to a meeting so no time for observation. I've noticed behavourial differences because I spend break times talking to and observing students

  • stokoeview Jan 3 @ 3:31 PM EST
    We use 'MyConcern' which records and manages info securely. However, people need to be trained to use this in line with the actual safeguarding training. Then there needs to be confidence from staff to use it wholly, however small something may appear. #ukedchat

    #UKEdChat A4 Time needs to be there...time to get to know children...time to observe changes....time too talk....time to recognise a possible issue otherwise everyone rushing around and seeing nothing

    A6 I had a child say that his mother was giving him morphine, it turned out that he'd been given morphine in hospital and because him mums a nurse and he's artistic, he thought that all medicine was morphine #ukedchat

    #UKEdChat A5 for a greater understanding that behaviour is trying to tell adults something so take the time/make the time to listen. Would LOVE to hear that CAMHS/Social Care had enough staff to allow early intervention and not have to ignore concerns as they are so overstretched
  • ukcreativeed Jan 3 @ 3:43 PM EST
    A5 The involvement of whole staff, a discussion of preventative safeguarding not just reactionary, up to date evidence based understanding of risk&protective factors inc focus on the impact promoting protective factors can have long term for all #ukedchat
