Conference Description

Date: Tue 7th October 2008

Location - Birmingham

Over the last year, your statutory responsibilities and obligations to safeguard and protect children at your school have been updated. With the maze of legislation, guidance and advice how can you get a clear understanding of what your legal obligations are? This conference will detail important updated areas of child protection law, such as effectively using the Vetting and Barring scheme in your school to ensure you keep your students safe. This conference will also clarify what your legal obligations are when dealing with out of school hours learning – especially with regards to non-teaching staff guidance.

This conference will help you to:

  • Use the Vetting and Barring scheme effectively in your school to keep students safe.
  • Deal with allegations against your staff effectively and meet your legal obligations.
  • Tackle bullying and cyberbullying in your school: get the legal process right.
  • Ensure security at your school by consolidating your legal knowledge.
  • Explore your legal powers to control and restrain pupils.

Also, all delegates will get access to a unique website where they can download the speakers’ presentations – helping you to return to your school and ensure all your staff are motivated, confident and well-trained.
