This network focuses on the practical leadership and oversight of safeguarding and child protection in schools.  

The district network is facilitated by the local LLPR with some input from Cindy Pritchard (HIAS Lead Safeguarding Adviser). 

These sessions are aimed at senior leaders and are designed to enable effective oversight of safeguarding. Each session focuses on a different aspect of the leadership of safeguarding. There will also be opportunities for participants to discuss local contextual safeguarding issues, problem solve and share best practice.   

Please note, this network is the continuation of existing networks that have been running in Fareham and Gosport and Havant and East Hants but is now offered across the county at a district level. Sessions run concurrently across other districts, meaning attendees can attend alternative group sessions should dates clash.  

Important: This network does not replace statutory DSL training and is separate to any existing DSL networks. 

The course price entitles a school to two places

These termly briefings aim to deepen the knowledge and understanding of headteachers and chairs of governors in respect of the current Ofsted inspection framework. The sessions are particularly targeted at schools who are likely to be inspected within the next six months. 

There will be opportunities to review information relating to the latest national and local inspection trends and patterns and consider implications for their own school. Additional input will be provided by headteachers of schools that have been recently inspected under the current framework (2025) and members of the Primary Phase Inspector team who support schools through the process.  

A senior leader and chair of governors are invited to attend but do not need to book a place. Headteachers who have booked a place will receive the course details, which they should share.  

The course price entitles a school to three places at the briefing (the headteacher, senior leader and chair of governors).
