Keynote: Education as an equal: Unlocking strategic potential in safeguarding partnerships

Most children spend vastly more time in schools than they do in contact with any other social agency, yet education does not always feel that its impact and expertise is fully recognised in safeguarding partnerships.

This keynote explores how trust safeguarding leaders can achieve this to improve outcomes for children and begins a consultation on making this a reality.
