Speakers describe how incident analysis and other intelligence can support identification of hidden leaders within the student body and methods of engagement that have supported a reduction in child-on-child abuse incidents. Delegates will explore the what\, who and how of hierarchy analysis and consider the benefits of further development of the approach in their own contexts. \n\nChair: Claire Dan\, Director\, Sacpa and Director of Safeguarding\, BSA Group\n Panel:\n\nElena Hesse\, Principal\, Abbey College Cambridge\nLisa Morton\, Pastoral Deputy Head\, Cardiff Sixth Form College\n\n\n\n12:30 -13:30 \nBreak \n13:30 -14:30 \nManaging safeguarding concerns: case studies from international contexts \nNavigating the international context in safeguarding remains complex and challenging.
