Course outline:

This seminar is specifically designed for staff working in summer schools with international students. It will provide essential knowledge and practical tools to help you create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all learners.

Safeguarding must be a top priority, and every member of staff involved in summer school provision should understand not only the practical steps involved, but also how to adopt a child-centred approach.

• Understanding your safeguarding responsibilities and duty of care
• Implementing policies, procedures, and a robust safeguarding framework
