A new podcast from Warwickshire County Council to keep all school staff up-to-date with safeguarding in Warwickshire

We know it’s not always easy for headteachers and wider school staff to find the time to keep informed about what Warwickshire County Council (WCC) is doing to keep children safe in Warwickshire.  

So, we are delighted to launch a brand-new podcast called ‘In Safe Hands – Safeguarding Conversations with the Headteacher Coach’ so you can listen on the go at a time that’s convenient for you.  

WCC’s very own Headteacher Coach for Safeguarding, Carl Lewis, is hosting the podcast each month with an array of special guests. Each month, a different theme will be covered to complement the information sent out to headteachers and education settings in Warwickshire, but the topics may also be of interest to other professionals. 

The podcast will share some of the work the Council is doing to keep children safe in Warwickshire, talking to passionate people about what they do to generate discussion and dialogue around good practice and how to support colleagues, families and young people. 

Episode 1 has just launched, and you can find out all the details and listen on the go below. If you would like to share any feedback about this podcast, please email educationsafeguarding@warwickshire.gov.uk.
