Safeguarding audits

Audits are always a bespoke and supportive service, carried out in partnership with you and planned in accordance with your specific needs. It is an important tool in ensuring full compliance with Ofsted safeguarding and other requirements.

I can carry out a basic safeguarding audit which will look at your website and policies with the goal of helping you ensure that you meet the statutory requirements with a view to identifying areas for improvement or possible inspection focus areas. A short-written report will be supplied.

I can also visit your setting to carry out a full safeguarding audit, which will include website and policy information included in the basic safeguarding audit, plus an examination of safeguarding procedures and the skills, knowledge and confidence of key safeguarding staff and volunteers. A full written report will be supplied.

A comprehensive written report can be supplied, covering every aspect of safeguarding practice.
