Audit of School Safeguarding Practices 2017 - Group 3

Governing bodies of maintained schools have a duty under section 175 (2) Education Act 2002 to make arrangements for ensuring the conduct of the school are exercised with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils at the school. Section 157 of the Act places the same requirements on Academies, Free Schools and Independent Schools.

The safeguarding self-review tool has been revised to reflect changes in local and national guidance, the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board (NSCB) Priorities and learning from serious case reviews; new fields and revised fields are highlighted throughout the tool. The tool forms the primary evidential basis for the Local Authority audit of school practice that is taking place between January and December 2017 and schools will be requested to submit a completed safeguarding self-review tool.

Rather than being produced as a word document, the review tool is accessible to all schools via Norfolk County Council's My School site. When you are logged on to the system, you will be able to access the tool via the 'School Performance' tab. Further guidance on completing the tool is also available on those pages.

Thank you for your co-operation and support with this audit. So far, 187 schools have completed a submission. The overall findings of the audit support us to identify gaps in knowledge across the wider school workforce and therefore tailor future training and guidance to meet these needs accordingly. A report outlining the interim findings of the audit will be made available during the Autumn Term with a full report being published in the Spring Term 2018.

During the Autumn Term, the Intervention Team, with support from the Adviser - Education Safeguarding, will also commence a series of safeguarding compliance checks in a sample of schools who have submitted a self-review tool. These checks will be unannounced visits focusing on statutory compliance in line with the Safeguarding Compliance Checklist. The checks will have regard to the information provided by schools via the self-review process and will be used to test and validate audit returns.

What do I need to do?

All maintained schools, free schools and academies will be invited to submit a completed self-review tool for analysis in 3 groups over three terms as follows:

  • Group 1: 23 January - 28 April 2017
  • Group 2: 18 April - 7 July 2017
  • Group 3: 6 September - 8 December 2017

If your school appears in the Group 3 list of schools at the end of this document, please complete the self-review tool via the My School website by 8 December 2017. The list also includes schools who did not complete a self-review as requested in Groups 1 and 2. Once the tool is completed and saved on the My School site, you are not required to submit the information in any other way.

Date to be completed

Group 3: 8 December 2017

Submission of the Safeguarding Self-review Tool: Group Three

If your school appears in this list of schools, please can you complete and the revised self-review tool on the Norfolk My School site by 8 December 2017.

Please note that you should not submit copies of supporting documentation but it is important that you provide a rating and a supporting commentary of evidence for each question. If you do not include this information, it is likely that you will be asked to re-submit the tool. We are not able to accept submissions in any other format.
