Whether you work in a school, healthcare setting, charity or place of worship, safeguarding principles apply and require full commitment from all members of staff.

The person responsible for overseeing this is called a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). They have numerous responsibilities to ensure safeguarding procedures are understood and followed correctly.

We have collated our DSL resources into a printable pack, so you can keep it in a handy place whenever you need to double check the role requirements and key legislation.
