On Tuesday the 21st of November 2023 the Newcastle Safeguarding Children Partnership held a development session at the Civic Centre, and over 90 delegates attended to explore how schools can be effective strategic partners in the response and development of safeguarding in Newcastle.

At the development sessions we heard from a range of partners regarding the important role that education plays in the welfare and safeguarding of children and young people in Newcastle.

We believe that working closely with partners in education is essential to the positive development of safeguarding children and young people in Newcastle. We are committed to sharing the tools and resources practitioners are using and raising awareness about the work of partners in developing practice. Whether you missed the session or simply want to revisit the content then we hope you will find this information, including presentation slides, and additional materials useful in the development of your partnership working.
