Course outline

This one-day certification programme is designed for school nurses and aligned with the Intercollegiate Guidance 2019 (level 3) and Annex C of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). It supports school nurses across state, independent, international, and boarding schools, including those who serve as Designated or Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs). 

Delivered by experienced health and safeguarding professionals, the course uses real-world clinical case studies and evidence-based content tailored to the school nursing context. 

By the end of the programme, delegates will have a clear understanding of their responsibilities as safeguarding leaders and increased confidence in addressing a wide range of complex safeguarding issues.
