KBSP Education Annual Safeguarding Data Drop

Introduction

 

The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership - Education Reference Group has developed this methodology to collect meaningful data for the education workforce and how well multi-agency working is working in Bristol. A task and finish group was set up to consider the benefit of collecting data from the workforce to support identify areas of need and development.

 

  • The s.175 Audit is not an effective mechanism to assess headline data for the Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership. 
  • The data request may support with a standardisation of CPOMS categorisation across the education sector.
  • The information provided will enable the partnership to target whether support and challenge may be required. 
  • This may support with your setting's strategic safeguarding approaches. 


We ask that you complete this in line with your duties set out in the Children Act 2004 reinforced with statutory guidance Working Together to Safeguard Children and Keeping Children Safe in Education. 

 

Technical instructions
