Evidence gap analysis

What's working well

Practices that are already embedded and improving — protect and build on these.

Wellbeing is delivered systematically (e.g. an advisory or tutor program), not ad hoc. (Exemplary)
A current child-protection/safeguarding policy is in place and accessible to all. (Exemplary)
Reporting and response procedures are documented and consistently followed. (Exemplary)
A secure system records and tracks safeguarding concerns as a chronology. (Exemplary)
Safeguarding practice is reviewed on a defined cycle and improved. (Exemplary)
