Written for registered and deputy managers, this course covers what to do from the moment a safeguarding concern lands on your desk. It draws a clear line between an allegation and a low-level concern, explains exactly when the LADO must be involved, and sets out how to run an investigation that is fair, thorough and defensible on inspection.
It also covers the notifications and referrals that are easy to miss and costly to get wrong.
