Course Outline:
This one-day conference provides safeguarding professionals with a global lens on protecting international students in an increasingly complex and polarised world. Participants will explore how geopolitical instability, cultural identity, transnational extremism, digital risk and cross-border care arrangements impact safeguarding responsibilities in education settings. Through expert-led sessions and case clinics, delegates will strengthen their understanding of culturally responsive practice, online harm, guardianship accountability and proportionate responses to emerging risks. The programme combines strategic insight with practical tools to support ethical, legally sound and trauma-informed safeguarding across international contexts.
Training topics will include:
- Geopolitical instability and its impact on international student vulnerability
- Culturally responsive safeguarding and building trust across identities
- Transnational extremism, radicalisation risks and proportionate safeguarding responses

- Online harm, digital risk and global safeguarding challenges
Learning outcomes:

- Apply culturally informed approaches to disclosures and student engagement
- Recognise indicators of transnational extremism and respond appropriately
- Navigate safeguarding responsibilities across borders and shared care arrangements
