Key module takeaways

  • Safeguarding is about preventing harm and promoting wellbeing.
  • Every teacher has a legal and moral duty of care.

  • The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child sets the global standard for child safety.
  • Good safeguarding protects students and your professional reputation.


💭 Reflection

Take a moment to consider:

  • How confident do you feel about your current safeguarding knowledge?
  • Do you know the reporting route in your country or region if you become concerned about a student?
  • If a safeguarding concern was raised about you tomorrow, would your current practice clearly show you had upheld your duties?
