The Education Improvement Service in collaboration with Social Care have made a podcast available for all staff in schools, to support children coming back into school after lockdown. The purpose of the podcast is to remind staff of the importance of conversations with children and young people about their experiences of lockdown, and how this may lead to some children telling us about abuse. Staff will need to feel equipped in how to deal with allegations of abuse, therefore the Podcast will reinforce the messages given in safeguarding training.
