Meeting with the designated safeguarding lead
Inspectors will meet with the designated safeguarding lead (DSL) to explore the culture of safeguarding more fully. We’ll specifically ask the DSL whether there have been any safeguarding incidents or allegations since the last inspection. If there have been, leaders should be able to demonstrate how they have used the guidance in KCSIE to respond appropriately.
