Safeguarding Children is everybody’s responsibility and it is therefore recommended that all governors undertake basic training about safeguarding to ensure that they have the knowledge and information needed to help perform their functions and undertake their responsibilities effectively. This session will provide the basic awareness needed so that governors understand the importance of this area for Northamptonshire schools.
