What You’ll Learn
This advanced Level 3 course is for experienced Designated Safeguarding Leads, deputy leads and senior leaders in international schools. It goes beyond the role itself to the harder work of leading and governing safeguarding: building a strong culture, managing complex cases and allegations against staff, working across borders and jurisdictions, and holding a firm standard under pressure, all framed for the realities of the international school context.
-
Leading and governing safeguarding – Build a safeguarding culture and hold it to account through the board or owner.
-
Policy and assurance – Design, audit and assure a policy suite that works across different jurisdictions.

-
Multi-agency and cross-border escalation – Refer, share information lawfully, and work with host-country authorities.
-

Why This Course Matters
Safeguarding leadership is where the hardest decisions get made, often under pressure, with incomplete information, and far from a familiar national system. This course equips your safeguarding leads and senior team to make confident, defensible decisions and hold one consistent standard of child protection across your whole community, wherever in the world your school operates.
